Smart grid development continued to pick up momentum in 2010.  The new year promises to be the biggest yet for the young industry.  Big industrialists introduced new products and technologies in January.

Last month GE announced it was introducing a new energy information panel in partnership with OpenPeak, an expert in communications technology.  The new device is able to wirelessly communicate with smart meters, smart appliances, and other ZigBee or Wi-Fi enabled devices.  The smart panel keeps the energy consumer informed about fluctuating energy prices throughout the day so adjustments can be made accordingly.
