MYMETER™ Team holds User Conference at The Van Dusen Mansion
|
Representatives from cooperatives in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Iowa traveled to Minneapolis on
October 21st to participate in a roundtable discussion and provide
user experience to help guide our team as they develop new and innovative
features for MYMETER™.

|
The Age of Mobile Information |
Chief among many additional features suggested at the User Event was the development of mobile device
technology to enhance the ability of MYMETER™ to provide instant
information to consumers.
The planned rollout of the MYMETER™ mobile platform is slated for Q1 of 2011.
Also related to our mobile initiative is the latest new feature of MYMETER™, Notification Settings.
Users can choose to be notified by text message or email when usage thresholds are exceeded over a specified period of time.

University of Minnesota's CERTs Representative a highlight at MYMETER™ Event
|
Melissa Pawlisch, the Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) coordinator for the
University of Minnesota’s Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships
program was a keynote speaker at the MYMETER™ user event in
October where her ideas to bring resources, technical assistance,
energy users and producers in rural areas together to conserve energy
were very well received.
Among Melissa’s talking points were ideas for using the MYMETER™
advantage to track conservation projects among various user
groups. One idea that was floated by Lake Region Cooperative was
that Utilities with the MYMETER™ program compete with each other to see
who can save the most kWh over a period of time. |

MYMETER™ Goes National |
Earlier this year Accelerated Innovations began planning to market the
MYMETER™ product to co-ops beyond Minnesota’s borders and we are happy
to say that in a short time we now have utilities in Iowa, South
Dakota, Oklahoma and Indiana who have either implemented MYMETER™
or are preparing to soon.
