Company Overview
Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy, located in Norwich, Connecticut, will receive $9.1 million in federal funding to develop a smarter grid. The U.S. Department of Energy chose Connecticut Municipal Electric as one of 100 companies nationwide to receive funds as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The stimulus money is for companies dedicated to improving the nation's energy grid. The proposed smart-grid project will build a regional smart meter network infrastructure including 5 municipal utilities and at least 13,000 meters that will allow customers to control their electricity use through time-varying rates and control, communications, and management systems.
