What’s so smart about smart meters?


New meters are about to transform your everyday energy experience 

While the basic purpose of smart meters remains the same, its two-way communication adds a whole new level of functionality for both customers and OPPD.

Device Features


Daily energy insights
No more waiting for your monthly statement to see how much energy you’re using. Energy insights are updated every 24 hours in 15-minute intervals, helping you take control of your usage.


Energy tracking and efficiency tools
Compare your current usage to your historical data to see when and where you can conserve. New efficiency tools can help you identify places to start improving efficiency to lower your average energy costs.


Usage thresholds and alerts
Want to avoid unexpected charges? Set a specific kWh and receive text or email alerts when your electric use gets close to that limit.

Service Enhancements


Improved service
Smart meters provide OPPD with more detailed data about the power coming into your business. This will allow us to see potential problems with lines and equipment in your area and make repairs before services issues can occur.


Instant outage reporting
Because smart meters wirelessly communicate with OPPD, we’ll know the moment you lose power. You can also alert OPPD to outages and other service interruptions through your meter via the MyOPPD app (coming in September 2025).



Faster service restoration
Knowing which meters are unresponsive allows crews to narrow down their troubleshooting efforts. Less troubleshooting means we can find solutions faster.



Enhanced fire safety
Smart meters automatically alert us if overheating is detected within its socket. In the event of a fire, OPPD is able to remotely disconnect power when contacted by first responders.
