carbon trading and smart metering

Under the new carbon trading scheme, there is no denying that the power prices will begin to exponentially increase in the years to come. This will obviously have a flow on effect through industry (especially aluminum) and residential households alike. In a very general view, an increase in power prices, I would have thought would strengthen the market positioning for smart metering and the whole INT product range to regulate the power usage.

I believe INT are in a very high potential window right now, so they push to capitalize on the change while the iron is hot.
