Smart meters will replace old technology meters for SDG&E's 1.4 million customers, allowing two-way communication between customers and the utility. This will modernize the energy grid, improve reliability, and support renewable energy and electric vehicles. Customers will benefit from enhanced energy usage data to save energy and money, new rate programs, and improved customer service. SDG&E will install smart electric meters for all customers and gas modules by 2020, launching programs and services like online energy tools to help customers use energy smarter.
