Meet the Meter & Get to Know the Grid
Edison SmartConnect® smart meters are the keystones of SCE’s upgrade to a smarter grid—designed to help prevent large-scale outages and to enhance system reliability and performance. By transmitting information within a secure wireless network, smart meters also give you access to information, programs and tools for greater control over your energy use and budget.
The Smart Swap: Getting the New Meter
Smart meter installations have already begun and will continue through 2012. If you haven’t received an upgrade yet, you can expect a smooth transition with minimal interruption to your home or business service; however, you may be curious when the new smart meter is coming to your neighborhood and what to expect on installation day.

At a Glance: Reading a Smart Meter
Your energy usage appears on one of the smart meter’s five-second rotating digital displays. Wait for the screen where “001” appears in the upper-left corner. Each time you use a kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity, the display will increase by one. This screen shows a cumulative number, much like a car odometer, so you can calculate your current month’s usage by subtracting the previous total.
More Than a Meter: New Tools & Technology
The smart meter enables new online tools and innovative programs to help you manage your energy use and make the most of your rate plan. You’ll also soon have access to smart appliances that securely communicate with the smart meter, so you can take advantage of even more information and ways to save.
