Advanced Metering (Electric and Gas) Program


Advanced Metering (Electric and Gas). Provides participating electric customers with 15-minute interval data in either a Real Time format (optional) or on a Day-Plus-One load profiling format (where the interval data is uploaded at night to reflect that day's consumption). This program provides customers with the necessary technical information to manage the overall consumption of electricity for their facility, as well as stage their actions to respond to utility requests for load curtailment. This approach avoids the negative impacts to customer productivity that can arise from a utility's direct load control or load shedding program.
