How will the AMS Technology (or “smart meters”) benefit me?
With the “smart meters”, your local poles and wires company can have an ongoing picture of the electric system, which will help them identify trouble spots, which helps to minimize the duration of power outages. Also, these new meters will be able to provide detailed information on your energy consumption through in-home display devices or even using your computer. You will be able to use that information to better manage your electricity usage to save money and help the environment. If you have other questions about this pass-through fee, or about the “smart meters” and Advanced Meter System program, please contact Oncor at 1-800-518-2380.
