R.I. Energy to upgrade electric meters in Portsmouth
‘Advanced meters’ will offer customers more control over energy
PORTSMOUTH — Rhode Island Energy (RIE) customers will soon have more control over their energy consumption.
RIE is introducing a new Advanced Metering Functionality (AMF) program in Portsmouth. As part of this initiative, RIE plans to replace existing electric meters with advanced meters.
An advanced meter enables two-way communication between the meter and RIE’s systems. It allows RIE to receive real-time usage and status information, offering customers more control over their energy consumption.
With these new advanced meters, customers will have access to a user-friendly customer portal that provides insights into energy usage, RIE says. This interactive tool can help residents manage their energy consumption and find ways to control monthly bills.
Project timeline
Letters will be sent to Portsmouth customers at the end of October or beginning of November. RIE will conduct field checks for each meter, with the installation to follow.
For more information about the program, visit AMF Program Website and AMF Resource Center.
Rhode Island Energy will also conduct outreach to Prudence Island, with project activities expected to begin there in mid-November.
