As of the end of July, more than 61,000 customers were enrolled, an increase of about 42,000 since May. SmartRate is available across PG&E's service area to any residential electric customer with a SmartMeter.
Such simple steps also help keep the air cleaner and lower greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need to run generators during peak periods. All it takes is turning up the thermostat a few degrees on "SmartDay" afternoons and running dishwashers, dryers, vacuums, and other appliances in the morning or evening.
At most, only 15 "SmartDays" are called each season-and never on weekends or holidays.Ĭustomers who participated in SmartRate™ last summer saved an average of eight to nine percent on their summer electric bills. On a few hot afternoons during the warm-weather season, when demand is especially high, the rate temporarily increases by 60 cents per kilowatt-hour to encourage customers to conserve and shift energy use outside of peak times. The plan gives customers a general price reduction of three-to-four cents per kilowatt-hour from June through September. Customers who enroll in August are eligible for a limited-time offer of $25, and they will enjoy bill protection both this season and next -meaning they can't lose money by signing up. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) announced today that residential customers with electric SmartMeters™ still have time to save money this summer just by signing up for the SmartRate™ pricing plan and conserving energy on a handful of hot afternoons. The products are part of ADVA’s new aPNT platform, integrating threat detection, multi-source backup and ADVA’s intelligent Ensemble Sync Director as a new standard for PNT service assurance, control and visibility.SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. It features multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receivers and supports multiple PTP profiles, including substation power and core telecom backup sync, while also allowing conversion between them and supporting legacy interfaces.

The solution is built on the OSA 5410 and OSA 5420 Series of edgeSync+ grandmaster clocks. PGE’s new timing infrastructure will distribute stable and accurate frequency, phase and time-of-day information between its power infrastructure data points, including PMUs, IEDs and substation LAN IEC 61850 communications, supporting rapid decision-making and automated assurance. “ADVA’s technology supports our existing synchronisation services while also enabling packet time distribution all the way to the edge of our network.” By harnessing new time-sensitive applications and building smarter energy infrastructure, we can offer even more to customers across our region,” says John Lozano, senior telecommunications engineer at PGE.
“Precise and resilient synchronisation is increasingly vital in the power industry. Wide grid monitoring using satellite time synchronisation Spain’s Red Electrica to modernise communications network The solution also provides multi-source backup, including PTP network timing and in-device holdover oscillators for when GNSS signals are unavailable or disrupted. The assured PNT (aPNT) platform with multi-band GNSS receivers and AI-powered threat detection is designed to maintain resilient timing, even in circumstances such as deliberate jamming and spoofing attacks. The new solution is being deployed as PGE upgrades to packet-based synchronisation on its grid to improve the accuracy and reliability with data timestamping and control at the edge.ĪDVA’s Oscilloquartz PTP (precision time protocol) grandmaster clock technology also supports protection against global navigation satellite system (GNSS) vulnerabilities and cyberattacks, while conforming to the February 2020 Executive Order 13905 on PNT. Portland General Electric (PGE) is deploying connectivity solution provider ADVA’s Oscilloquartz positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) solution.
