Q2. For each region, enter the state and report, for each of the three customer sectors shown, the total number of the entity’s AMI and AMR meters and the total number of all meters (including standard electric meters) being used by the entity. Report the data as of the end of calendar year 2013.

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI): Meters that measure and record usage data at a minimum, in hourly intervals, and provide usage data to both consumers and energy companies at least once daily. Data are used for billing and other purposes. Advanced meters include basic hourly interval meters and extend to real-time meters with built-in two way communication capable of recording and transmitting instantaneous data. For AMI meters that are only being used as AMR, report the meters as AMI meters operating as AMR.

Automated Meter Reading (AMR): Meters that collect data for billing purposes only and transmit this data one way, usually from the customer to the distribution utility. Aggregated monthly kWh data captured on these meters may be retrieved by a variety of methods including drive-by vans with short-distance remote reading capabilities and communication over a fixed network such as a cellular network.

Standard (Electric) Meters: Electromechanical or solid state meters measuring aggregated kWh where data are manually retrieved over monthly billing cycles for billing purposes only. Standard meters may also include functions to measure time-of-use and/or demand with data manually retrieved over monthly billing cycles.
