Florida Power & Light (FPL) Company reports that it has established one of the United States’ first full-scale smart grids, networking 4.5 million smart meters and more than 10,000 other devices in its 35 country service area.
FPL president Eric Silagy says, “This is one of the most ambitious projects that has ever been undertaken in the country and definitely one of the most ambitious projects that FPL has undertaken. Completing the installation of the 4.5 million smart meters and the deployment of smart grid technology throughout our service territory is making it possible for us to improve our service reliability, prevent outages and detect problems, while giving customers more control over the energy they use.”
