Advanced Metering. All Customers with a monthly measured demand of 300 KW or more for one (1) month in the previous 12-month period will have interval metering as part of the standard service offer. Upon request by the Customer for non-standard metering to satisfy the requirements of an Electric Supplier, the Cooperative will install the necessary equipment, in accordance with its electrical and data processing standards for a fee.
Advanced Metering. Infrastructure (AMI) System ($5.1 million) The Public Utilities Department has a business opportunity to enhance its water meter reading, customer service and billing functions and water conservation capabilities with the installation of an AMI system. AMI technology allows water meters to be read electronically rather than through direct visual inspection by field staff. The implementation will include approximately 10,000 of the total meter population of roughly 275,000. Estimated useful life of the AMI system is 15 years. The project is expected to be completed within 2 years. The total not to exceed amount financed is approximately $5.1 million. The repayment term for the purchase will be established at 7 years.
Advanced Metering. Infrastructure (AMI) Device (also referred to as an “Automated Meter”): A device such as a kWh meter or system that collects and measures energy usage. AMI Devices may transmit data via a radio and/or cell phone communication system with other metering devices.
