My electric meter measures electrical usage on an hour-by-hour basis; saves me a pile of money.
It does not have the ability to remotely turn-off my air conditioner.
Residential customers may have an array of smart-meter options. They might range from simple devices that provide a color-coded light signal to curtail power during peak hours to sophisticated ones that tie in major appliances so that customers could volunteer to allow Peco to remotely manage their use during peak hours.PECO give you a discount of a few bucks a month in exchange for ceding control of your major appliances to them.
