Individuals, families and businesses don’t have access to real-time information about their energy consumption. On a micro scale, this data can help inform decisions ranging from changing the thermostat by one degree to large scale efficiency upgrades. On a macro scale, considerations such as balancing supply and demand come into play. Real-time feedback can help households to save money while also taking into consideration the sustainability of our consumption patterns.

The Illinois Science & Energy Innovation Foundation (ISEIF) http://www.iseif.org may be a helpful resource, especially in regards to smart grid initiatives. Depending on what next steps look like and potential partnerships formed along the way (ex: Ameren Illinois), funding support could come via an ISEIF grant.
