摘要

Officials from U.S. Department of Energy and Pepco Holdings Inc (PHI) for a two-day event to acknowledge funding and completion of multiple smart grid programs. The projects were accelerated by Smart Grid Investment Grant funds awarded by the Department of Energy as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Executives and team members from both organizations saw presentations on the status of projects including advanced metering infrastructure, direct load control and distribution automation. "These funds have allowed PHI's utilities to install new technologies that will give customers a better experience and enable them to save money through energy efficiencies," said Karen Lefkowitz, PHI VP, Business Transformation.
