With funding from USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS), rural electric cooperatives are leading the way in smart grid deployments. Last year, RUS approved $7.1 billion in loans for a broad range of rural electric grid modernization, including $152 million in loans for smart meters. Smart grid infrastructure includes metering, substation automation, computer applications to monitor and control systems and processes, two-way communications, geospatial information systems, and additional system improvements.
As an ongoing example of the Obama Administration’s commitment to smart grid technologies, Vilsack announced that $106 million in electric loans USDA Rural Development is providing includes $7.4 million in smart grid technology for technologies such as load management and automatic meter reading.
NOTE: 10 California counties have banned smart meters, so have cities in Maine and other areas, these 24/7, intrusive, toxic frequency wireless devices are not only an invasion of every aspect of your personal life, but are dangerous to your health at a cellular level. Plus, they will require that YOU purchase new appliances that are "smart meter compliant"
