Smart Grid Math: Can we afford NOT to modernize the system?
Thursday, Aug 11, 2011 - Posted by Advertising Department The following is a paid advertisement. If SB 1652 is enacted into law and grid modernization proceeds on course, ComEd customers could save $2.8 billion on their electric bills over the 20-year life of the smart meters according to a comprehensive analysis by Black & Veatch, the consultancy charged with evaluating the one-year smart meter pilot approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission. This savings would be over and above any savings customers would see by using smart meters to manage their own energy usage. The jobs and economic development opportunities generated by this investment will provide a much-needed push to our state’s economy. Coupled with new pricing options and opportunities for customers to lower their electricity bills, this legislation will positively benefit every customer in the state.
