Today I received an email that they have released the first report with another report due at the end of the year. My results do not correspond with the results reflected in the report.

APS will be able to remote control the customer's thermostat to control power draw from their A/C when there is a critical power transmission issue on the grid. Customers will be able to override these settings if they desire.
