like all sunshine information projects...
it depends on the accuracy of the data!
electric companies make their money...their real money selling "ON PEAK" hours, in fact, in Northern MD/Pennsylvania there is a power plant that ONLY goes on to service ON PEAK hours!
what most americans fail to realize -- electricity can't be stored (efficiently)! therefore the laws of supply and demand DON'T justify the notion of a "free" market where the laws of supply and demand can work their magic.
therefore, if electricity producers don't "publish" timely accurate data on the smart grid -- the system will fail even before the first communication unit is produced.
what is the mechanism to convince electric companies NOT to make even more $$$$$ during ON PEAK hours? - Posted by: brutallyfrank Posted on: 08/11/09 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
