PEPCO
PEPCO Smart Meter Installations
PEPCO has begun to install Smart meters in the Village. The Smart meters will replace the traditional electrical meter currently installed on your house and will allow PEPCO to pinpoint powers outages and track usage to better help residents to save energy. PEPCO has contracted with Scope Services, Inc. to conduct the Smart meter installations, all Scope Services personnel will be driving white vehicles with Scope Services and PEPCO signs on them and will have photo identification badges displayed on their person at all times. PEPCO and Scope Services are currently installing “smart” meters on the following streets:
-
Cedar Parkway
-
Grafton Street
-
Kirkside Drive
-
Park Street
-
Magnolia Parkway
-
Grove Street
-
Montgomery Street
-
Western Avenue
-
Center Street
-
Hesketh Street
-
Oliver Street
Over the past few weeks residents on these streets should have received a letter from PEPCO outlining the installation process. Once PEPCO’s contractor has completed Smart meter installations on the above streets they will be moving into the remaining areas of the Village (updated lists will be posted to the Village website as they are received).
Residents cannot refuse to accept the new Smart meters as PEPCO was granted authorization by the Maryland Public Service Commission to remove all existing meters to be replaced with these new Smart meters for all of its Maryland customers. Smart meters will allow PEPCO to have remote access to your home’s power usage data. While these Smart meters can allow for PEPCO to adjust your electrical usage, for such things like your air conditioning, these adjustments can only be made if you opt-in to PEPCO’s energy saving programs.
PEPCO has indicated that the meter replacement will require a brief interruption of a home’s electric service, usually lasting less than a minute. If you or someone in your home relies upon electricity to power life-support equipment such as respirators and kidney dialysis equipment, AND you are not already enrolled in the “Emergency Medical Equipment Notification Program”, you are encouraged to contact PEPCO directly at 202-833-7500.
A link to PEPCO’s Smart meter website, which includes a Frequently Asked Questions document, is available on the Village’s website (www.chevychasevillagemd.gov) by clicking on the “Important Topics” link under the “News” tab. The Smart meter installations are scheduled to be completed throughout PEPCO’s system by the end of 2012.
