Meter Upgrade - About our Meter Upgrade

Yes. All upgraded meters are engineered and tested in a variety of conditions to ensure precise reporting of energy use. They meet strict accuracy guidelines set by the American National Standards Institute. SCI REMC also continuously monitors meter performance.

The new meters enable quicker outage awareness, remote service functions, and more reliable communication.

Just as mobile phones, laptops and tablets continue to evolve as helpful tools, this meter upgrade is the next step forward from the traditional electric meter. The new digital meters record energy use and securely send information to SCI REMC using two-way communication. This helps us respond to outages more efficiently and provide better service.

We’re upgrading all meters to improve service for our members. The new meters allow us to detect outages faster, respond more quickly and restore service immediately and remotely. They also support a stronger, more robust electric system.
