Whats the difference between the new AMR meter and an old meter?
The new AMR meters are electronic and the old meters are mechanical. The new meters will still display the meter reading, but it will be in a digital LED form. The biggest difference is that the new meters have an electronic AMR module installed. The AMR module can receive and store electricity consumption data and send it over power lines to equipment located in our substations. From the substation, the data is sent through telephone lines back to our billing system computer, located in the Monroe headquarters office.
