Dominion to Deploy Elster Smart Meters
Dominion Virginia Power (Richmond, Virginia, U.S.) has chosen the EnergyAxis System Smart Grid Solution from Elster Electricity (Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.) for use in the utility's recently announced energy-conservation plans.
In 2009, Dominion plans to deploy 200,000 smart meters as part of a large demonstration program of Smart Grid technology in urban and rural areas of Dominion's service territory. Dominion expects to improve customer service and business operations through advanced system control, real-time outage notification and power quality monitoring.
As part of this program, Dominion Virginia Power is deploying several smart thermostats with the EnergyAxis System for a residential critical peak pricing pilot this summer. Dominion will measure customer responsiveness to changing energy prices and the impact on energy demand during peak usage periods.
