You wouldn’t go to the gas station and fill up your tank without a meter on the pump showing the cost per gallon and how much you’ve pumped.

9. California takes the lead
At the public policy level, California is taking the lead.
A recent CPUC administrative law ruling has required the State’s three investor owned utilities to submit AMI plans.

10. AMI consists of three fundamental building blocks
Back-office computer
Wide Area Network data telecommunications system to “back-haul”
An Advanced Integrated Metrology unit

11. Key components
Key to the realization of the State’s vision of effective demand response, and critical peak demand response, is an indoor customer Graphic User Interface to provide Real-time energy feedback.
