CenterPoint, IBM Roll Out Smart Grid in Houston

A Reuters newswire article by Bernie Woodall, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

CenterPoint Energy and IBM on Monday announced that 44,500 Houston Electric customers will participate in a broadband-over-powerline (BPL) rollout that is seen as another step toward an intelligent grid system for electric and gas companies.

The limited deployment will center on utility company applications and not on broadband for high-speed Internet in homes.
