John Kitzhaber said Thursday that power customers could play a bigger role in the state&#39;s clean energy future. He spoke at the Northwest Smart Grid Summit in Portland.</p><p>The governor says a smarter power grid can help Oregon reach his 10 year goals for renewable energy and energy efficiency.</p><p>For example, Kitzhaber says, projects are underway to install two way electric meters in people&rsquo;s homes. The meters will allow utilities to tell their customers when and where they&#39;re using the most energy. That information could prompt customers to reduce their energy use to save money.
