Why is Progress Energy installing new meters?
This state-of-the-art technology will streamline our meter reading, making it more efficient, more accurate and safer for employees. Now, meter readers walk house-to-house and record electric usage by manually putting information into a handheld device. With the new technology, a meter reader will collect dramatically more information. In the long term, it will reduce Progress Energy’s operating expenses by cutting labor costs. This technology is difficult to tamper with, which could result in less power theft – further saving money for you and the company.
