South Carolina Cooperative Enters Smart Grid Market
South Carolina’s Central Electric Power Cooperative recently approved the first paid WattBoss pilot program, which is set for deployment this year. The WattBoss technology, being introduced this year by Electranetics Inc., will share information with utilities and the customer, and will provide the customer with greater control of its consumption, thereby decreasing energy costs. Orders to supply this program in the coop are expected to exceed $230 million. More on the WattBoss program here.
