Are small businesses getting Smart Meters?
Yes. This will allow small businesses to now have the energy management tools that larger businesses already have. Large commercial or industrial businesses typically have energy managers on staff or energy consultants under contract, who review and analyze the company’s energy consumption through special meters called Interval Data Recorders (IDRs). Since small businesses typically can’t afford to hire an energy manager and the necessary equipment, they will benefit from the Smart Meter’s energy management tools, thus helping them to manage their costs and stay competitive.
