Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) and Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO) have signed an agreement to pilot and further develop a smart grid-enabled home energy management solution to provide Duke Energy customers with home energy use information.

The announcement corresponds with the unveiling this week of Cisco’s Home Energy Management Solution, which features a proprietary Home Energy Controller (CGH-100) designed to work in concert with Cisco Energy Management Services, a platform whereby utilities can manage and integrate data from homes with their back-end applications.
