Segment Definitions
Segment
Smart Meter
Segment Definition
Meters can be for commerical, residential, or industrial use. A meter that records a customer's
electricity usage for time intervals of one hour or less, and can transmit that information to the
utility without the need for a human meter reader. Depending on the feature set, the meter
may also notify the utility of a power outage, provide pricing or other information to the
customer, or allow the utility to remotely switch electricity service on or off.

Methodology
