advanced metering is digital technology that enables secure two-way communication between the customer and entergy arkansas. each meter is equipped with a network radio. the radio transmits meter readings to the electric network access point, housed on an electric pole near the meter. this data is then transmitted to the utility through a secure cellular network. after a customer’s meter is installed, they may access their online account to view daily energy use, displayed in 15-minute increments.
upgrading to advanced metering has numerous benefits, including:
- new online tools are available to customers with a new meter that help them better understand and manage energy usage more effectively, which can lead to energy usage reduction and potentially lower bills.
- no more waiting until the end of the month to review energy usage. via the online tools, customers can log into their account at any time and view how much electricity has been used. usage data is updated about every four hours.
- with better information, entergy arkansas can answer customers’ billing and service questions more quickly and effectively, improving customer service.
- the company will have a clearer real-time picture of the power grid and how it is operating. outages can be identified more accurately, so crews can arrive on the scene more quickly to make repairs.
