Utility to Deploy 22,000 Advanced Meters in Two Years

Jan 1, 2008 12:00 PM

Lexington Electric (Lexington, Tennessee, U.S.) has begun an initiative to deploy the TS2 advanced metering solution from Cellnet+Hunt to 22,000 meters over the next two years.

Lexington is planning to use the remote disconnect capabilities of the system immediately, and in the future will consider outage management and offering time-of-use pricing to its customer base. A power line carrier (PLC)-based communication technology, TS2 is a full two-way advanced metering system that offers demand-response capabilities, such as load control and time-based pricing, as well as distribution system monitoring and load-profile capabilities.

The utility anticipates a full return on investment in seven years based on reduced meter-reading costs alone.
