Homeowners’ think about their electric utility ~6 mins/month, yet REV success hinges on time to …
Understand what NYS customers know about and want out of their
electric system
Develop an education curriculum that
effectively fills the knowledge gaps so

REV requires major investment in metering, communications and customer technologies
Interval metering to measure services consumed and
provided
Comm network to transmit meter data and price/event
signals that inform customers about consuming and
providing services
Home area network to enable customer
technologies to consume and provide services
