More than 1 million Victorian households and businesses are a step closer to having internet-linked 'smart meters' after CitiPower & Powercor - electricity distribution companies that manage 40 per cent of the state's transmission grid - announced they will commence rollout at the end of this year. Smart meters are being installed across Victoria by electricity distribution businesses following the government's decision to complete a statewide rollout by the end of 2013.
