With the growing importance of energy and sustainability management
in commercial and industrial buildings, the infiltration of smart meters
continues to rise, replacing the existing analog meters. Our infographic
shows the geographic penetration of smart meters and their analog
meter counterparts in commercial and industrial buildings in the United
States, by state.
So...What Do Smart Meters Mean for
Commercial and Industrial Companies?
The deployment of smart meters has enabled:
• More accurate and detailed billing. Smart meters enable automatic meter readings, which
are more accurate and detailed than analog meter readings.
• New offerings and services. Continuous commissioning, consumption forecasting, and
demand response programs have all benefited from smart meter deployment by the utility.
• Service improvements. Utilities can better monitor and manage loads across the service
network where AMI systems and distribution systems are integrated.
Out of the 16 million
commercial and
industrial building
meters in the United
States…
… approximately
5.8 million are
smart meters.
Which States Are Leading the Pack?
Smart meter penetration varies widely by state, and is largely driven by each state’s policies.
California leads the pack in the absolute number of smart meters, but nearly all meters in commercial
and industrial buildings in the state of Maine are smart meters, yielding a 97% rate of adoption.
California
leads by
