Many of you clearly have concerns about smart meters , which is why we’re campaigning on this issue and will be for some time to come. But overall we think there are significant benefits. How smart meters can benefit us In a market where we’ve heard a lot about innovation but seen little of it, this new metering technology is a real improvement. We’ll get accurate bills and we’ll all be able to better understand how we use energy.

Devoir de vacances: rédiger une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur l'impact que peut avoir l'affichage de la consommation en terme d'économie d'énergie chez le commun des mortels. Restez les doigts de pieds en éventail, cette synthèse existe, l' ACEEE (American council for an energy-efficient economy) l'a publiée en juin dernier. Dans ce document, baptisé Advanced metering initiatives and residential feedback programs: a meta-review for household electricity-saving opportunities , l'ACEEE analyse et compile les résultats de 57 études sur le sujet réalisées aux Etats Unis, au Canada, en Europe, en Australie et au Japon. L'ACEEE demeure prudente dans ses conclusions rappelant que le doute reste de rigueur à l'heure actuelle et que des recherches complémentaires doivent encore être réalisées pour valider en particulier la persistance des diminutions de consommation dans le temps.

Dozens of home energy monitors are coming to market, but nobody knows whether only hybrid Prius owners will use them. Whole home energy monitors, or displays, are designed to help consumers conserve energy by providing far more detailed information than a monthly bill. These types of devices are already available, but millions more are poised to enter U.S. homes in the next two years, largely through utility-run smart grid programs. The gadgets themselves vary, but the common thread among them is the ability to capture a stream of energy information from a meter at a given moment. Simply by surfacing real-time data, either with a small device or Web software, it's believed the system will prompt people to change their habits and ratchet down consumption by 5 percent to 15 percent, according to studies (PDF) .
