Abstract: AMR activities in the last two years have escalated tremendously due to upcoming electricity restructuring and continuing gas utility deregulation. Accurate, reliable and timely meter reads have been demanded in the deregulated environment. Utilities need real time energy consumption data to improve load management efficiency and reduce transmission costs. Energy consumption data enables energy retailers to assess market potential and balance load for transactions. Customers will be interested in energy costs and savings if there are more than one energy service provider available to them. To expedite the process, the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) has mandated the implementation of Direct Access which will unbundle traditional electric utility services including metering, data communications and billing. Needless to say, a similar plan can be perceived by the CPUC to impose on gas utilities in the near future.
