There is no formal presentation. Customers are invited to come at any time during the event and talk to project representatives about smart meter installations.

All residential and most business customers in NYSEG’s service areas will receive the new electric smart meter and/or natural gas module. Informational displays and NYSEG representatives will be available to share more details about the installation process, answer questions and demonstrate how smart meters will provide customers with benefits such as bills based on actual energy use, faster outage detection and better understanding of their energy usage.
