How will the smart meters be installed?
Under the federal stimulus program, PECO has proposed a targeted smart meter deployment initially with low income customers, as well as participating universities and commercial customers. PECO’s plan calls for deployment of 600,000 meters by 2012. Following regulatory approval, PECO plans full deployment for all customers over 10 years. The PUC also requires that smart meters to be available to any new customers and any customers who requests them within 30 months of state approval.
