Would you like an advanced power meter at your home, so you can see how much energy you use at different times of the day?

The goal is to alleviate the state's power crunch by giving customers a financial reward for running their dishwashers at night - or dinging them for jacking up the air conditioning on hot afternoons. Data provided by the meters enable utilities to offer voluntary 'variable pricing' plans. Under the plans, customers are charged more for power used during peak periods such as weekday afternoons when electricity supplies are tight and prices are high, and less at night and on weekends, when demand and prices are lower. la-fi-meters6feb06,1,2703395.story
