Automation, Information, Pricing and Smart Meters

A nice article about smart meters appeared in the 5/19/10 issues of the Wall Street Journal (A6 - Electricity: The New Math). It tracks the current installation statistics of smart meter deployments and discusses the nascent transition to dynamic pricing of electricity. As I've written about before in this blog, smart meters are the core technology for enabling much of the Coproduction Experience Model with regards to customer performance associated with managing electrical usage and costs.
