What you said is true, but not the whole point by any means. What they really want to do is have a sliding pay scale for their power. If they have to turn on the old gas boilers or buy their power during peak hours from out-of-state generation then they want to know how much you use WHEN you use it so they can adjust your KPH charge accordingly.
Also what they want more that the meters is the ability to control your air conditioning and hot water tank thermostat (if electric) so they can shut down literally millions of them at their convenience during peak hours or the day. This will lower their dependence on purchasing power from other producers which is not nearly as profitable as generating all they need with what they have, keeping the higher profit margin in-house and not giving it to their competitors.

Thank you Abathar. Just got our notice from GeorgiaPower about the wonderful gift they are giving us for “no charge”, lol, and I commenced searching for information.
I knew right off that if this brand new, EXPENSIVE meter was being given to EVERYONE for free, then there darn sure was SOMETHING in it for them!!
May God guide our course.
