Smart Cities Utilities

Utilities are changing dramatically to both deal with new energy sources and improve the relationship with their customers.  The introduction of smart grids, smart meters and new ways of generating and transporting energy are being driven by the IoT. Smart water and electricity monitoring can help save money by giving people more control over their home utilities, while efficient refuse management will help to keep cities cleaner.
