 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

This bill amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to direct the Federal Trade Commission to initiate a rulemaking to consider including a special note prominently on any Energy Guide label for a product that contains Smart Grid technology. The note should include that: (1) the product features Smart Grid capability, and (2) the use and value of that feature depends upon the Smart Grid capability of the utility system and the utilization of that feature by the customer.
