Capabilities

Customer Education

•AMI

•Back OfficeIntegration

• 2-way communications• LAN / WAN / HAN• Meter reading• Security• Interoperability

Customer Impacts / Perceptions of Meter Accuracy

• Changes to rates• New rate structures (TOU, but no behavior change)• Fuel increases• Base rates• Dynamic rate schedules

• Weather• Normal effects of weather on consumption

• Meter replacement process• Large replacement of end-of-life electromechanical meters

(0.3% < 90% actual consumption)• Transfer of closing read from old meter to new meter• While process may be automated, “data splicing” adds complexity

and opportunity for error

• Changes in billing periods• Due to holidays, billing period can be as long as 35 days
