A few more details on the Smart Grid that Seve Holliday CEO of National Grid was talking about:
Look forward to candle lit dinners at home when the wind isn't blowing. Should be good fun, unfortunately I won't be in the UK when the Smart Grid will be in operation, but I'll be cheering everyone from the sidelines.

Under the so-called “smart grid” that the UK is developing, the government-regulated utility will be able to decide when and where power should be delivered, to ensure that it meets the highest social purpose. Governments may, for example, decide that the needs of key industries take precedence over others, or that the needs of industry trump that of residential consumers. Governments would also be able to price power prohibitively if it is used for non-essential purposes.
