Energy Efficiency

Energy Efficiency
One of the primary benefits of the smart grid is to provide the data necessary to drive energy efficiency improvements.

Energy efficiency is the cheapest method of providing Americans with electricity. Energy efficiency programs aimed at reducing energy waste cost utilities only about three cents per kilowatt hour, while generating the same amount of electricity from sources such as fossil fuels can cost two to three times more.
