The document discusses the benefits of a Smart Home energy conservation solution for utility customers and the environment. It allows customers to track and control their home energy usage remotely in order to save money, shift usage out of peak periods, and reduce overall consumption. This benefits the environment by motivating conservation and improving demand response to reduce carbon emissions. Capgemini is presented as an experienced provider of Smart Grid and Smart Home solutions that can help utilities implement such a program.

What are the benefits to
the environment?
■ Motivates your customers to embrace
conservation and reduce individual
home electricity use
■ Improves demand response. As
demand continues to rise, utility
companies generate more electricity to
meet demand. This means burning
more carbon-based fuels, which is
detrimental to our environment.

technology can be integrated into your
