How good to hear of funding for a technology that saves electricity, rather than only gives data on energy – go ecobee.

We have started a new list “the energy saving” devices – distinct from monitors and control systems.

It is clear to me how the utilities will benefit from the smart grid, and in theory home owners will be made aware so they can do saving ….

To me this is a fine example of a saving application, which exists on top of the infrastructure funded by government incentives, and will translate to a cost effective benefit (and saving) to the home owner.

I am looking forward to understanding all the new innovations being planned on this same infrastructure.
