Automated Meter Reading (AMR)

This is an automated meter reading process for reading meters from a remote, centralized location.

AMRs are designed to:

  • Assist cooperative members control their electric costs by gathering information on daily and hourly energy use.
  • Improve the accuracy of meter readings. We rarely see problems in this area and when we do, it is usually due to slow meters. Unrecorded energy usage must be paid by all consumers rather than the individual using it.
  • Saves a trip for the monthly meter reader to come onto your property.
  • Provide faster notification to our crews of the location and extent of an outage. This is expected to result in a shorter time without electricity for everyone affected by the outage.
