Innovations- Empower Members with Real-Time Energy Insights
New Technology
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
Opportunity
Before implementing AMI, Jones-Onslow EMC members had traditional electromechanical meters at their homes. These meters relied on mechanical dials to measure electricity consumption, requiring manual reading by meter readers. This outdated system led to potential human errors, delays in meter readings, and limited access to real-time consumption data, highlighting the need for improved metering technology.
Goal
The primary goal of JOEMC when implementing AMI was to enhance customer service and improve operational efficiency. By leveraging this technology, JOEMC aimed to provide accurate and timely meter readings, enable remote service connections and disconnections, and reduce the need for manual meter reading visits. The ultimate objective was to empower JOEMC members with real-time energy information, increased control over their energy usage, and a seamless experience with their utility provider.
Solution
With the integration of AMI, JOEMC members can now view their daily energy usage through the member portal. This feature allows them to stay informed and monitor their consumption, helping to prevent any surprises on their bills. Additionally, JOEMC utilizes the capabilities of Advanced Metering to provide energy consumption calculators, empowering members to make informed decisions and adopt conservation measures to save energy and reduce costs.
