>Extending dynamic energy pricing down to the customer level is an 
>important facet of the world's management of energy. California utilities 
>alone plan to spend over $3.6b on programs in the next four years on such 
>demand management programs to increase conservation, reduce the next big 
>brownout, and delay the need for expensive infrastructure buildouts.
>
>Ambient's network provides a realtime update of dynamic energy to the 
>customer level without the installation problems or "big brother" issues 
>of some other systems. The technology has been piloted in southern 
>California and shown that the impact of the program at peak energy usage 
>doubles.
