Albemrle Magazine, fall 2009: 

Charlottesville has been selected as the first city in VIrginia and one of the first in the nation to benefit from "smart grid" technology.  This technology will make the delivery of electricity more efficient and less costly for Dominion Virginia Power while improving customer service.  It will also promote energy conservation and environmental responsibility.  The $20 million program begins with the installation of about 46,500 "smart meters" in the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County.  Pending regulatory approval, Dominion Virginia Power plans to install smart meters and equipment throughout its service area over the next few years.
