Answer: Thank you for your email. Regarding your inquiry, we are in the process of working on changing out the meters to AMI meters. It will take some time to get them all changed out, so I do not have a timeframe as to when your area will be changed out.



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.
