The Latest
Will National Grid’s new smart meters change how we use energy? We’re about to find out: Central New York customers are first in line for new “smart meters” that National Grid is rolling out across its Upstate territory to all 1.7 million customers. National Grid will use the advanced meters to cut labor costs and address outages more quickly. The utility promises there will be big benefits on the other side of the meter, too: Armed with better information about their energy usage, consumers will get more efficient. But the greater household efficiency from smart meters will depend in part on programs that have yet to be rolled out, plus how customers respond and what incentives they have to cut back their usage, especially during periods of high demand when costs are the highest.
