Following recently made final decision by the California Public Utilities Commission, Southern California Edison residential customers have the option to choose an Edison SmartConnect meter or a traditional electric meter.
Edison SmartConnect meters are digital, secure, two-way communicating devices. They are replacing traditional electric meters and providing a key step in transforming the electric system to a smart grid. Customers with smart meters will have access to their daily energy usage data through SCE.com. By signing up to receive email, voice or text message alerts, customers can track usage against a monthly budget target of their choice.
SCE began introducing these programs and services last year and more than 2.3 million customers now have access to them. More customers will be able to make better-informed decisions about energy use by enrolling in the smart meter-enabled programs and services throughout this year. Once advanced features are fully activated, SCE’s smart meters will be able to communicate with the next generation of smart thermostats, appliances and other devices.
