Are You Ready for Smart Meters?
Houston, Texas January 21, 2010 by Admin Cheap Texas Electric Rates Updated 2/5/2010
Are you ready for electric smart meters?
They are on the way for Texas residents. They will soon be on the way for residents of New York State residents. Your TDSP company (poles and wires) will install them. In Houston Texas that will be Center Point Energy. In fact Center Point Energy is in the midst of installing 2 million smart meters in Houston right now. That will cover just under half the city.
What smart meters do
A smart meter communicates. It communicates to the home office how much energy it is serving, and to what kind of equipment. It also monitors the usage of electricity as to when it is used and how much. Smart meters can allow an energy company to charge more for peak usage and less for off peak usage. This could save customers money.
In addition, smart meters can be set to turn off heavy equipment use of electricity during peak usage times. The energy to the household or business would still be available, but the electricity could be strategically cut to air conditioners, or other large energy users for a short time. This would not be mandatory at all, just an option a homeowner or business could have.
