To support its AMI pilot, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) chose Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management to help it manage and analyze high volumes of meter data, while providing its customers with detailed, energy usage data that will help them drive down peak energy consumption and reduce their electric bills.

BGE claims that it also expects that the deployment of Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management will help it to reduce pressure on wholesale market prices during peak periods, streamline customer issue resolution and facilitate revenue collection.

Cathy Stryjewski, director of automated metering and demand response infrastructure art BGE, said: The implementation will allow us to develop a single system of record for all energy consumption information. We can analyze this information in a way that will support our development of various customer service programs with an ultimate goal of reducing energy consumption.
