“By 2015, Whirlpool Corporation will make all the electronically controlled appliances it produces – everywhere in the world – capable of receiving and responding to signals from smart grids,” the company's executive vice president, Bracken Darrell, said as part of the announcement.
"Whirlpool believes this bridging technology is so important that we are going to invite the appliance industry, the utility industry, policymakers, NGOs, and relevant technology companies to come together at the upcoming Copenhagen climate change conference to discuss how we can accelerate the adoption of these new capabilities."
The announcement came at last week's EE Global Forum & Exhibition in Paris, which Whirlpool co-sponsored.
