Smart Grid Update

By now, you should know if you were selected to participate in our Smart Grid Demonstration Project. If you weren't selected, don't worry, you may still be selected yet.

At last week’s board meeting, the Board approved the selection of a smart meter vendor, Smart Synch, to provide MLGW with 1,000 smart meters for the Smart Grid Demo for considerably less than we initially budgeted. The current contract must be approved by City Council and if and when that happens, the plan is for MLGW to bring a change order before the Board next month to increase the number of smart meters purchased. The goal is to accommodate all 1,900 of the MLGW customers who requested to participate in the Smart Grid Demo project.
