JOIN THE DISCUSSION Smart metering will give electrical utilities more control over their transmission networks – and will give you more information on how you use electricity. How will this affect consumers, businesses and the environment? And how can you benefit? In an interview for Maclean’s readers, James Strapp, Associate Partner with IBM Global Business Services Energy and Utilities Practice, explores the new frontier of smart metering.

When will the time-of-use rate be effective in Ontario? Can one volunteer to get a smart meter installed?
I’m no scientist but it seems to me that small, efficient, and quiet electric generators would be much more effecient in saving electricity. To my way of thinking the smart meter is only a bandaid and supports the industry of power production rather than truly saving energy. If we are going to spend that much money to save energy wouldn’t it be better spend on power saving technology. Even a turbine or solar panel on each home would be more efficient.
