We have had many people say they are hearing that their bills will go up as a result of the AMI meter installations. This is not correct. There will be no change to our rates or the amount you will be billed when these meters are installed. There may be impacts to your bill when we change rate design in a year or two, but that will be a separate public process we will carry out at that time.

Are AMI meters safe? The meters we are using, manufactured by Landis and Gyr, are UL tested and are certified to the 2735 standard for electric utility meters. At a distance of 3 feet in front of the meter, the emissions from the AMI meters were less than 0.2% of these standards for 900 MHz radio emissions.
