Smart Grid technology coming to Naperville

Bill Mego’s column  in the Naperville Sun is a great discussion of how the Smart Grid system will help Naperville, and could help communities across the district. The Smart Grid system is a practical way for consumers and utility providers to track how much energy a home is using and find better ways to conserve electricity.

Technologies such as the Smart Grid are important steps toward creating a greener future. The system will not only save consumers money by cutting household consumption, but will reduce the amount of energy wasted. I would like to see the 13th District play a leading role in America’s green energy future, and programs such as Smart Grid are a good start.

Sincerely,
