Smart meters

An electric and/or natural gas smart meter transmits hourly energy use and meter status data to us, giving you the ability to:

• Connect with Energy Manager to monitor your energy usage more precisely and identify energy-saving opportunities
• Make more informed decisions based on your energy data, including finding the best pricing option for you
• Receive bills based on actual meter readings every month
• Determine quickly and easily whether programs like Smart Savings Rewards and other energy efficiency programs could benefit you

If there is a power outage, your meter status data informs us automatically, allowing us to send repair crews and restore your power faster.
