| BPL is for Smart Grid- this is the main purpose
Ilike to share some tidbits of this article:
"TXU and CURRENT Communications to Create Nation’s First Multipurpose Smart Grid
Broadband Over Power Line Network to Be Available to Serve Approximately Two Million Texas Homes and Businesses
DALLAS, TX and GERMANTOWN, MD (December 19, 2005) — TXU Electric Delivery, the nation’s sixth largest electric transmission and distribution company and a subsidiary of TXU Corp. and CURRENT Communications Group, LLC, the nation’s leading provider of broadband over power line (BPL) solutions, today announced an agreement to transform TXU Electric Delivery’s power distribution network into the nation’s first broadband-enabled Smart Grid.
CURRENT will design, build and operate the BPL network covering the majority of the TXU Electric Delivery service area, including approximately two million homes and businesses in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and other Texas communities. This modernized grid will dramatically enhance TXU Electric Delivery’s ability to deliver top-decile electric service reliability and provide the potential for additional products and services from retail electric providers that will enable businesses and consumers to manage their electricity usage and costs." |
