Smart Grid Makes it to Wyoming

LARAMIE — Many experts say that rising energy costs and environmental degradation require a 180-degree shift away from the flick-the-switch-and-forget-it mindset.
But that doesn’t mean going without electricity. It means using electricity in cleaner, more efficient ways, from generation to transmission to end use. That’s the idea behind “smart grid” technologies.
“Consumers need to start viewing energy in a different way. We need a culture change similar to what we saw with the acceptance of the telephone or Internet,” said Katherine Hamilton, president of GridWise Alliance, a Washington, D.C.-based smart grid advocacy group.
Smart grid technology essentially centers on communicating and coordinating the flow of electricity throughout the supply to consumer chain, making adjustments based on variable energy supply, demand and pricing data.
The real-time advantage of smart grid technology gives consumers more cost savings and environmentally friendly choices.
“You don’t go to the grocery store and get your bill sent to you at the end of the month,” Hamilton said. “With the use of the smart grid, consumers can make simple choices and have immediate control.”
