		<description><![CDATA[Itron Inc. (ITRI) recently announced the completion of the installation of more than 150,000 Itron gas meter communication modules in Greater Houston for a natural gas distribution subsidiary of CenterPoint Energy Inc. (CNP). The project will include a total of 1.2 million communication modules and will be completed by 2013. These meters can effectively do away with the necessity of entering the premises of customers to take the readings manually. These communication modules employ the radio transmitting devices attached to the CenterPoint Energy’s customers’ existing natural gas meters, enabling the collection of readings once a month by a mobile meter reading device mounted to a CenterPoint Energy vehicle. According to Itron, CenterPoint is an old and valued customer and Itron is looking forward to conferring the benefits of smart metering ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Itron Inc. (ITRI) and Tropos Networks’ jointly developed Smart Grid solution has been chosen by Avista Corp. (AVA) as part of its $38 million Smart Grid Demonstration Project in the city of Pullman, Washington, and in a nearby locality of Albion. The sole objective of using automated smart technologies is to simplify the energy distribution system and increase the accountability, reliability and efficiency of the system. Besides, the system will also reduce the outage time, incorporate renewable energy sources, and offer customers solutions to monitor their energy usage. Itron’s OpenWay Integrated Cell Router and OpenWay 7320 wireless broadband router will be used for smart grid communications. Both incorporate Tropos’ GridCom, a wireless broadband technology. The network will connect smart meters and distribution automation devices, laying the foundation of cost-effective, reliable ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the 10-year T-note yielding only 3.06%, those investors interested in getting income from their investments are in sort of a tough place. Dividend-paying stocks are a very good place to look for a replacement. One thing you know for sure is that the coupon payment on a 10-year note is not going to rise. A yield of 3.06% does not offer much of a cushion against inflation. What is inflation likely to average over the next 10 years? I have no idea, but based on the spread between the regular 10-year note, and the 10-year TIPS, the market is implicitly expecting a rate of about 2.50%, which is pretty much in line with the historical experience (Headline CPI) over the last 20 years of 2.57%. While core inflation is ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DPL Inc.’s (DPL) unregulated subsidiary, DPL Energy Resources, will build a 60 kilowatt (kW) solar array at the Mound Advanced Technology Center in Miamisburg, a former Department of Energy Weapons site. Along with the company’s other solar installation on Yankee road, this project will help DPL meet the goals of Ohio’s energy legislation, which includes targets for generating electricity with renewable sources such as solar, wind and biofuels. After completion, the facility will generate enough power to provide electricity for five homes and will cost approximately $400,000. Melink Corporation of Cincinnati is the general contractor of the project, and the solar installation, which will be situated on a hillside at Mound, is expected to be completed by this summer. Dayton, Ohio-based DPL Inc. sells electricity through its principal subsidiary Dayton ]]></description>
