This should have a huge long term benefit as it will reduce peak demand and delay upgrades to transmission network capacity.

Bills are already in the Legislature to allow the Public Service Commission to mandate TOU rates. When this program was put into effect in the 90s, it was a disaster. Con Ed Rates during peak hours went from 14 cents a kwh to 38.40 cents. The ability to mandate these rates was legislated out of existence in 1996, and now the PSC wants to bring it back. Once these smart meters are put in place, all the Utilities have to do is raise the rates. Wait till you get slapped with time of use rates.
