New South Wales energy utility Ausgrid is exploring customer rebates and reduced tariffs based on the differing energy saving technologies deployed at 50,000 homes slated for the Federal Government’s $100 million Smart Grid, Smart City project.
The energy utility charged with running the Federal Government’s $100 million <i>Smart Grid, Smart City</i> trial across NSW this week backflipped on plans to build a WiMAX wireless broadband network, instead choosing long term evolution (LTE) as a technology base.
