Kootenai Electric Cooperative believes its meters have many benefits to our members. First, hourly reads mean our members receive greater information about when they are using electricity. Since our members can view their use online, they can make educated choices based on how they use electricity. The communication download, which occurs 3 times a day, only takes a couple of seconds to complete.
In addition to the benefits provided to KEC members, KEC as an organization also benefits from automated metering technology.
These benefits include:
- Near instant meter readings for move-in and out versus estimated bills.
- KEC’s outage response time quickens by pinpointing trouble areas.
