In 1Q 2009, GE says it will introduce a suite of "smart" appliances or Energy Management Enabled Appliances that will be enabled to receive a signal from the local utility companies that are participating in tiered rate programs to help consumers manage their peak energy usage. The appliances will receive the control signal that utility rates are high and react based on the appliance’s internal programming.
