A SECRET EnergyAustralia plan, backed by the NSW government, would transform large sections of the state’s power grid so electric cars could plug into home power points and households could monitor the greenhouse gas output of individual appliances.
The proposal is part of a bid lodged with the federal government’s $100 million “smart grid, smart city” fund, and would start rolling out this year if successful. It would provide a glimpse of a future energy system in the trial areas of central Sydney, the upper north shore, Newington, Newcastle and Scone in the Hunter Valley.
