How does your utility use smart meter technology?
A quick poll to see how widespread smart meter technology has become.
What type of power meter do you have, and how does your utility use the technology?
a: Analog dial meter
b: Digital, but not a "smartmeter".
c: Smartmeter, no advanced features enabled.
d: Smartmeter, remote reading for billing
e: Smartmeter, remote reading for utility and consumer (consumer can log in to website and see daily use)
f: Smartmeter, Time of use/variable/demand rates available, but not forced.
g: Smartmeter, Time of use/variable/demand rates ONLY, no flat rate option.
Our utility is "f", variable rates available, but not forced. We can also read our meter online.

PG&E Smartmeter, remote reading for utility and consumer (consumer can log in to website and see daily use). I'm pretty certain TOU/demand/variable rates are available for residential customers, but you can check their rate programs by going to their website pge.com
