VSGWG March 9th, 2011, Meeting Follow-Up
Thanks sincerely to all who attended our inaugural VT Smart Grid Working Group (VSGWG). Ethan Goldman, Measurement & Verification Specialist at Efficiency Vermont, led a discussion of research projects, sponsored by Efficiency VT and the electric utilities, which examine the potential for consumer behavior change from the deployment of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology in Vermont this year. Mr. Goldman also gave in-depth explanations of several AMI or “Smart Grid” technologies that will be deployed state-wide over the next two years, and the additional in-home components that will be tested as part of the consumer studies.
By all accounts, Mr. Goldman’s presentation was well prepared and thought-provoking. Several group members have requested copies of Mr. Goldman’s presentation. To download his presentation as a PDF, click here.
