| Two problems:
1) Outage detection has been done at the substation level for decades and does not require smart meters at every residence.
2) Outage detection on a per-residence basis does not imply a need to track demand. A simple ping would suffice. |

It's also determining abnormal dangerous conditions in real-time. Ex a leg gone, overvoltage or undervoltage caused by a failing transformer or connection... |
