Smart metering in the United States – additional information
Smart meters have enabled the integration of new technologies and innovation in the electricity market. The collection of data enabled by smart meters, or automated metering infrastructure, allows for customers to be served based on their true consumption habits. There were some 94.8 million advanced meters installed in the United States as of 2019. The use of smart meters by electric utilities has allowed companies to provide enhanced outage restoration and improved distribution monitoring, as well as new customer services. Some states in the country have enacted policies that allow customers to opt out of smart meter installations, yet, very few customers have requested to do so.
Pacific Gas & Electric, an investor-owned electric utility headquartered in San Francisco, generated some 13.9 billion U.S. dollars in revenue from their electric operating segment in 2020. The company is considered one of the top smart meter companies in the United States and had over 5.3 million smart meters installed around the country as of 2019.
