Back in 2001, Enel—Italy’s dominant utility—started a five-year program to install smart meters across its customer base of 30 million homes and businesses. The goal was to improve efficiency, create higher margins, reduce power theft, and help customers reduce their energy bills. Enel created its Smart Grid using Echelon’s power line communications technology and data concentrators.
