Technology puts you in control of your energy useSmart meters are part of our long term plan to upgrade the electric grid, improve customer service and enhance reliability in your area.

Here’s a look at what smart meters will do for you:

n Detailed energy information. On My Account, you can access information about your energy use such as what days of the week and time of day you use the most energy. This can help you identify changes you can make to increase your energy efficiency.

n Faster outage restoration. We can quickly detect outages remotely, resulting in a more efficient crew dispatch. You should, however, continue to call us to report an outage. Smart meters are also a key component in enabling automated systems that can help reduce the frequency and length of outages.

n Improved customer service. Our customer service representatives are more equipped to answer your questions about your personal energy use, should you ever need to contact us for assistance.

n Environmental conservation. Remote meter reading minimizes our need to send extra vehicles on the road, thereby reducing carbon emissions.

To learn more about smart meter benefits, visit pepco.com/takecontrol or call 1-855-NEW-METER.
