The Department of
Energy (DOE) has revved up efforts to synchronize the adoption of smart grid
technologies in the country.
A “smart” electricity
grid uses technology—such as meters and appliances—that allows for two-way
communication between the distribution utility and consumers, as well as
sensors along power lines.
Energy Secretary
Alfonso G. Cusi said in a statement smart technologies could give energy users
more power to control energy “through their fingertips.”
“For us to guide the
consumers, the service providers and the regulators, we should not lose sight
of the basic concept that smart grid is simply a tool for the consumers and
energy users to be more active and more efficient in the utilization of
energy,” the energy chief said.
Cusi also said that
despite its complexity and technical diversity, the smart grid policy should
place the consumers first in driving its design and implementation.
