Reliant Energy Retail Services' (Reliant's) Smart Grid Enabled Consumer Participation project deployed new home energy management equipment, services, and market offerings for retail customers in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) region. The project deployed in-home energy displays, smart appliances, and new time-based rate programs for customers, along with individualized weekly usage emails that helped customers understand their energy consumption patterns. Thanks to its position as a licensed retail energy provider within ERCOT, Reliant has access to the Smart Meter Texas data exchange, which the company used to obtain interval meter data and communicate usage, trending, and home energy management information to customers.
