Duke is in the process here of going neighborhood by neighborhood and replacing the electric meter with what they call a smart meter. The old one they'd need someone to drive the streets. The meters could then be read while they were in the car. The new meters can be read back in their office. (goodbye meter readers). They will be able to tell when there's an outage and give the consumer access via an app to get daily readouts on usage and compare your usage to others in the hood.
