Silver Spring Networks and Chicago-area utility Commonwealth Edison have finally set the scope of their smart grid partnership — and it’s a big one.
IPO hopeful Silver Spring announced Thursday that it will deploy its smart grid networking platform to nearly 4 million homes, businesses and distribution grid devices over the coming years.
That’s a big new deployment, compared with the 8 million smart meters the startup has connected in the field to date and the roughly 17 million it previously had under contract.
