Project summary

Project: Legacy electrical sub-meter exchange to wireless meters (kWh)

Purpose

• Improve billing accuracy by creating a clean baseline at the point of meter exchange.
• Reduce estimated bills and follow-up disputes by enabling reliable wireless reads.

What was done

• Recorded an old meter close-out reading (Old Final Read) and installed a new wireless meter with a starting reading (New Start).
• Flagged priority replacements where applicable.

Current results (from the install log)

• 50 meters exchanged
• 30 installs started at 0.00 kWh (successful clean baseline)
• 20 installs started above 0.00 kWh (exceptions to review)
• Total non-zero starts across exceptions: 28.4 kWh

Why this is financially good

• Starting at 0.00 kWh prevents pre-install consumption being attributed to the wrong tenant, which reduces billing corrections and complaints.
• The exception list is small and measurable, so any opening-bill impact can be checked quickly.

Delivery-rate illustration (example bill)

• Using a delivery-only variable rate of $0.07174532/kWh, the current exception total (28.4 kWh) is approximately $2.04 of variable-charge exposure if not corrected.
