Second Set of Meter Questions • Estimated retirement schedule of current meters. • Current meter replacement costs. • Options for maintenance, replacement or retirement of expired meters. • Provision of interval data to competitive suppliers. • Time-of-Use rates currently offered by utilities.
Estimated Retirement Schedule Note: These are rough estimates, derived by adding expected lifetime to installation date.
Current Time-of-Use Rates • FGE: • Mandatory TOU for Large C&I: 30 customers. • Optional TOU for General Service (closed): 3 customers. • National Grid: • Residential TOU: ~185 customers. Peak/Off-Peak = 6.644 / 5.82 ȼ/kWh. • C&I TOU: ~3,000 customers. Peak/Off-Peak = 7.53 / 0.00 ȼ/kWh. • NSTAR: • Different programs by BECo, Cambridge and ComElectric. • Residential TOU: 144 customers. Peak/Off-Peak – varies by utility and rate. • C&I TOU: 4,070 customers. Peak/Off-Peak – varies by utility and rate. • WMECO: • Mandatory TOU for Large: 243 customers. Peak/Off-Peak = 2.57 / .076 ȼ/kWh • Optional TOU for others: 24 customers. Peak/Off-Peak = 2.67 / .076 ȼ/kWh • TOU rates also apply to the transition charge.
Three Other Questions • Current meter replacement costs. • Costs vary by utility, but are consistent with the range of costs used in the meters workbook. • Options for maintenance & replacement: • FGE: Typically replaces the meter / end point upon failure. • Grid: Meters recertified or retired as a complete unit. • NSTAR & WMECO: Replace the meter itself, not parts. • Provision of interval data to suppliers: • See company responses.
