The document discusses how the frequency and quality of energy usage data collected by smart meters can enable behavioral change. It notes that while time-of-use pricing enabled by monthly billing data is a first step, more frequent real-time data is needed for effective real-time displays, advanced data analytics, and smart appliance control to help consumers truly understand and control their energy usage. Higher resolution energy usage data collected by smart meters lays the foundation for not just current but also future innovative applications in areas like real-time energy trading and distributed energy resources.
