A national conference in Sacramento in July spotlighted PERI as one company that illustrated to national regulators and utility companies how the technology will cut costs in operations and reduce energy consumption.

 

“Smart grid technology is the wave of the future and we are doing our part to educate the public and media on its deployment,” said Periasamy.
