Highlights
►
The PG&E SmartMeter program:
►
will deploy a system for automated meter reading – hourly meter reads for electric,
and daily meter reads for gas
►
includes two separate systems: a power line carrier system for electric and a radio
frequency system for gas
►
involves an upgrade to both gas and electric meters – approximately 10 Million
meters will be upgraded
►
will be deployed over a five year period. An initial, paced deployment began in
Bakersfield in November, 2006. Mass deployment is targeted for September 2007.
Deployment efforts are scheduled to conclude in late 2011
►
will introduce additional capabilities over time, including outage management and
remote connect/disconnect (for a subset of electric customers)
►
will enable the introduction of demand-response rates for residential and small
business customers as early as summer, 2007

Implications for ESPs
►
ESPs will not be able to read SmartMeter gas or electric meters
►
Some meters are initially excluded from SmartMeter deployment:
►
Current electric DA interval meters (PG&E and 3rd party) will not be impacted
until 2009
►
DA metering rules will not change for electric accounts. Electric ESPs will still
have the option to replace a SmartMeter electric meter with a 3rd party
owned meter for accounts >50kW
►
Account switching will occur on the bill date, not the meter read date
►
EDI file content changes for both gas & electric (814, 867 and 810)
►
The largest implication for ESPs at this point and the reason for today’s webcast

I. SmartMeter Data - EDI 814 (ACK)
(Gas & Electric)
Changes
►
When a SmartMeter gas or electric meter is installed, PG&E:
►
►
►
New SA IDs will be assigned when a SmartMeter enabled meter is installed
►
The DA XREF will remain the same
►
Identifies the interval size the meter is registering (i.e. 00000015, 00000060,
000001440)
►
Assigns a new rate name - “H” (e.g., HE1, HG1)
Snapshot reports will be updated with new SA IDs and “H” rate schedule
names
►
►
Assigns a new SA ID
Snapshot reports are provided to ESPs twice a month
Switch date will occur on the bill date, not the meter read date

II. SmartMeter Data - EDI 867
(Gas & Electric)
Changes
►
New daily files with SmartMeter data (gas & electric)
►
Daily files named with “DAY” in file extension (gas & electric):
ESP.2007021414048.DAY.EDI867
►
Gas daily files will contain one 24 hour (1440 minutes) interval
►
Electric daily files will contain interval data (15 or 60 minutes, depending
on the rate)
►
No start or end reads in the daily file
►
Monthly files will continue, but usage will be in interval format – no more
“reads” (gas & electric)
►
No multiplier for gas consumption
►
No meter constant for electric

Electric Account Detail – E1 Residential Service
SAMPLE BILL
For accounts with “SmartMeter
billed” status there will be no meter
reads displayed on the bill.
Usage is calculated to six
decimal points vs. five in the
current system.

Gas Account Detail – G1 Residential Service
SAMPLE BILL
This is an example of a gas only bill.
Again, no reads, nor is the therm factor
displayed, and the usage is carried out to
six decimals. EMR accounts will continue
to show the reads.
