Edison SmartConnect meters are digital and two-way communicating devices that will replace traditional mechanical meters.
Communities in the upcoming installation phase include Colton, Corona, Devore, Etiwanda, Fontana, Mira Loma, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Riverside, San Bernardino and Upland.
SCE Edison SmartConnect program director Ken Devore said that smart meters will empower SCE’s customers to become better managers of their electricity usage through new tools, programs and services that will help them save energy, money and the environment.
By the end of the year, SCE will introduce new pricing plans, programs and services that will allow customers to make better-informed decisions about their energy use, the company said.
The first smart meter in the Edison SmartConnect program was installed in September 2009 in the city of Downey and the installations will continue through 2012.
