The new meters are digital electronic devices while the old meters were electro-mechanical devices. The new meters will continue to display the meter reading, but it will be in a digital LED format. The biggest difference is that the new meters will have an electronic circuit board module installed. The module receives and stores the kilo-watt-hour (kWh) and demand consumption recorded by the electronics in the meter and is able to transmit securely this and other system data back to the cooperative’s computers.
