“We’re dedicated to meeting the energy needs of our customers, and building a smarter energy infrastructure is part of that commitment. Not only do smart meters mean a bill based on actual use rather than estimated reads every month, with this recent rash of thunderstorms, we’re seeing improvements to outage response in the areas where they’ve been installed.”

Pedro Azagra, CEO at Avangrid

Our Take:

Avangrid’s significant progress in smart meter installations underscores its commitment to enhancing the energy infrastructure in New York. By deploying over 700,000 smart meters, Avangrid not only ensures more accurate billing for customers but also strengthens the resilience of its grid, particularly in response to extreme weather events. As the company continues its rollout, the broader implications for energy management and customer satisfaction are likely to be profound, positioning Avangrid as a leader in smart energy solutions.
