October 27, 2009 -- WASHINGTON, DC - Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today praised the release of $9,188,050 to the Connecticut Municipal Electric Energy Cooperative, based in Norwich. The grant will be used to build a regional smart meter network infrastructure which includes five 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. The funds were released as a part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"Modernizing our state and nation's electronic grid is of great importance to not only our economy and every day business, but also to our national security ," Lieberman said. "This grant will help save Connecticut residents money on their electric bills and help ensure that our electric grid is capable of supporting new economic growth in Eastern Connecticut."
