The writing of the CEBUS standard will provide utilities with exciting new concepts in load management and Automatic Meter Reading (AMR). It will be possible for homeowners to have an important influence in the load management responsibilities. As homeowners begin to purchase appliances outfitted with the CEBUS option, such as water heaters and air conditioners, utilities will be able to communicate with the appliance through a CEBUS meter. As a value added benefit to the utility for installing an intelligent meter, the utility will be able to obtain a monthly meter reading.
