According to research released this week by Parks Associates, the state of Texas is ahead of the national average in adoption of smart energy devices. Among broadband households in Texas, 16% currently own a smart energy device such as a smart thermostate, light bulb, power strip, outlet, or plug, compared to just 12% among all broadband households in the U.S.
Texas companies including Austin Energy and Reliant have been strong leaders in driving consumer awareness of energy programs and products – 36% of Texas broadband households are familiar with energy monitoring and management products, compared to 28% nationwide.
Parks Associates' Smart Energy Summit: Engaging the Consumer is an annual executive conference hosted each year in Austin, where analysts, decision-makers, and media converge to discuss new business models and opportunities that exist in the cross between energy, IoT, and home controls.
