Utilities should open up API’s to their smart meter data

Utilities should open up API’s to their smart meter data

By Tom Raftery on October 21, 2013

The world of utilities is changing with the roll out of smart meters. One of the biggest changes will be the wealth of data that utility companies will suddenly be flooded with.

Utility at What Cost?

Utility at What Cost?

By Jeff Nolan on May 14, 2012

Dan Gillmor is critical of the NYTimes decision to require Facebook login for verified identity, which brings with it greater access to services in their online offerings.

Are utility companies ready for full smart grids?

Are utility companies ready for full smart grids?

By Tom Raftery on April 16, 2010
