Is the 'smart grid' the author talks about basically data-over-power-line communications ?



Any hints, suggestions would help a lot. Thanks in advance.



The comm network for smart grid is not typically comm over power lines. I suggest you look into SGIP the smart grid interoperability group (google it)

I would say it is a solution that solves the wrong problem. Massive power theft is a serious problem an many developing parts of the world, fancy meters won't solve that. The solution proposed might help in subrural areas of the US or Canada. It is unlikely to apply well elsewhere.
