FirstEnergy’s Ohio electric companies are continuing to install smart meters, with fewer than 200 homes in Lyndhurst still to transition.
This effort is part of an ongoing investment, approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, to modernize the electric distribution system. This step toward a more modernized electric system will enable automated meter readings and may enhance our ability to respond to outages faster and more efficiently.
Plus, with a certified smart meter, residents will have access to more detailed energy information through the online Home Energy Analyzer tool that will help customers better understand electricity use to make informed decisions on how to manage and control electricity consumption. Be assured that the smart meter technology being implemented has been rigorously tested and demonstrated by manufacturers to be accurate, safe, and secure in systems throughout the country.
Residents receiving a smart meter will get a brochure like the one below in the mail. Stay informed and take advantage of the tools available to better manager energy use!
