Smart Meters provide many benefits
Smart meters are an important step on the path toward a smarter energy future, using digital technology to help save energy and reduce costs.
Save energy and money
You will have access to yesterday's energy use today. The information collected by your smart meter lets you track your energy use throughout the month and will help you identify your energy habits. Knowing how much energy you're consuming on a daily basis can help you better manage your energy use and save money.
Budget control
With a smart meter you have access to many online tools to help control your budget. You can request a weekly estimate of your bill amount based on your month-to-date usage. You can request email alerts to tell you when your monthly bill estimate reaches your predetermined budget amount. You can also receive alerts when your daily usage exceeds a threshold that you set.
These alerts can help you make immediate decisions to save energy and reduce your electric bill.
Convenience
Your smart meter allows SRP to read your meter quickly and easily without disrupting your schedule. The two-way communication also facilitates remote service turn-ons for even more convenience. If you're moving, for example, you'll no longer need to leave gates open, worry about pets, or wait around for a field service technician.
Accuracy and privacy
Smart meter technology uses a secure wireless connection to transmit your daily energy use. This secure technology also ensures the most accurate bill possible because we'll no longer have to estimate your bill when we can't access your meter. We will no longer need to enter your yard to read your meter.
With that said - what do you think about the Smart Meter?
and then -
there is always the controversy about how dangerous the microwave radiation is to our health. That will be a whole new story to come soon.
