Southern California Edison to Install Smart Meters in Antelope Valley

11.22.2011

Southern California Edison (SCE) has started installing smart electric meters in the Antelope Valley and surrounding communities as part of the Edison SmartConnect program. The technology will enable SCE residential and small-business customers to take advantage of new programs and services in the near future. Edison SmartConnect meters are digital, secure, two-way communicating devices. They are replacing traditional mechanical meters, and provide a key step in transforming the electric system to a smart grid.

“Over the past several years, we have focused on developing an industry-leading smart meter program, including extensive testing of our smart meters and associated systems to ensure their quality and performance,” said Ken Devore, director of SCE’s Edison SmartConnect program.
