Energy Minister Jack Keir says our province is in an excellent position to start taking advantage of so called smart energy.
Keir says there are a lot of high tech ideas being floated to increase energy efficiency and he says with broadband soon to be available to all homes in New Brunswick -- it's a solid opportunity to become a living lab for the new ideas.
Keir also told an energy conference here this morning the failure of the Hydro Quebec deal has spurred renewed interest in greater regional cooperation -- he's predicating there will eventually be a regional system operator for our power grids.
