How the Smart Grid is Helping Ontario meet its power demands

Last week we talked about the Smart Grid and how it will work and benefit both consumers and energy customers alike. City of Toronto has recently joined forces with Rodan Energy Solutions to provide support for their Demand Response 3 (DR3) program. City of Toronto facilities will be encouraged to limit their energy usage during peak times to limit the strain on the overall network. This will allow local energy companies to limit the amount of energy they produce at high wholesale electricity prices and then pass along to the customers.
