“Smart meters are the consumer touch-point of the smart grid, giving people real choice in how they spend—and save—their energy dollars,” said Bob Gilligan, vice president, transmission and distribution at GE Energy. “As government officials move to a new level of energy awareness, it is only fitting that one of America’s original energy companies is part of the solution.”
“PHI’s vision is to change the relationship we have with our customers,” said Joseph M. Rigby, president and chief executive officer of Pepco Holdings. “With new digital smart meters and the smart grid, PHI’s utilities will be able to provide up-to-date energy information and tools that will help our customers manage their energy use and costs. PHI is proud to be a leader in the transformation of the electric delivery industry.”
Communications technologies within GE Energy’s smart meters will also help Pepco Holdings detect and better respond to power outages, further improving the energy experience for Pepco Holdings consumers and business customers alike.
