Advanced Meter FAQ

What is an advanced meter?

Advanced meters transmit energy usage information to us at more frequent intervals throughout the day, unlike non-AMI meters which are read only once a month.

Advanced meters send and receive information related to your energy service through a secure communication network. We use the data from your advanced meter to generate bills, to run a more reliable and efficient energy grid, and to deliver a higher level of service to you.
