The Vermont Public Service Board approved a $68 million smart grid plan Central Vermont Service Corp (CVPS), the state's largest utility. CVPS's collaboration with other utilities will help bring in more than $68 million to the state to pay for the programs. The utility's SmartPower plan includes automated metering, two-way communications systems and ways to introduce new rate designs. The first new meters are expected to be installed in 2011, which is also when the pilot programs will begin.
