PNW-SGDP one step closer to seamless communication: milestone met as demo participants link up at the EIOC

April 2011 was a month of connections within the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project as many of the project’s participants demonstrated they could successfully send and receive the project’s transactive incentive signal, which communicates data and information that will allow utilities to react quickly to changes in demand, price and availability.
