Bottom Line SECO will transition to smart meters as I have stated. And their public relations and communication in general are extremely poor
This was in place in MD at least five years ago if not 10 years ago. I was surprised to learn it wasn't already in place in Florida.

If I remember correctly (it's been a while), time-of-use metering saved me money on Maryland with no changes to my normal usage. That was when I was out of the house working all day - we'll have to see what happens now that I'm retired.
