As they say, if you measure and communicate it well, you can manage it. Otherwise not. They are applying this to the world of electric energy consumption. It can even be applied to water and natural gas consumption where it is metered at the point of consumption. What intrigues me are the following two questions: 1) Their approach involves the utilities as their customer. How has that worked out? Is this the best approach? 2) Which states in the US and which countries have embarked on Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or some other forms of smart metering? Without this, PE's model would not work. However, that said, smart metering has to happen. There is too much information that is not being captured currently. It is not only about energy, but also about customer behavior. That leads me to another intrigue question of mine ;-) 3) What kind of privacy issues arise? How are they being addressed? Would the end user really care about privacy of their energy usage? I'll find out more a little later. Raj I am really intrigued with their approach.
