GE Energy and American Electric Power's Indiana Michigan Power subsidiary have announced the deployment of 10,000 GE Energy smart meters in a pilot project in South Bend, Indiana, that will begin on January 1, 2009.
The pilot program will help consumers track their electricity consumption and empower them to control their energy costs.
American Electric Power (AEP) will also deploy a variety of GE Energy smart grid products and technology solutions that will help it improve productivity and power reliability, increase energy efficiency, more quickly restore power after an outage and reduce the need for new power plants.
Bob Gilligan, vice president of GE Energy's transmission and distribution business, said: "Smart grid solutions enable utilities to increase energy productivity and power reliability while empowering consumers to better manage their electricity consumption and costs through real-time knowledge exchange. This will help electricity customers and consumers lower their carbon footprints, without having to compromise lifestyle or habits."
