Smart Meters

The City of Stillwater will begin using smart electric meters. On August 7, 2023, the City Council approved the transition to smart electric meters (Resolution NO CC-2023-25: SUA 2023-6). The new meters will improve efficiency and service.

What Are Smart Electric Meters?

Smart meters measure your energy usage just like our old meters, but with a small difference. Instead of needing manual monthly readings, smart meters send your utility usage data to the City every day. This change makes it more convenient for both residents and the utility service.

How Smart Meters Work

Smart meters use a secure network to transmit your usage readings to the City of Stillwater's electric utility office. Upon reception, the data is processed, providing you with detailed insights into your daily and long-term utility usage.

Enhanced Service

Smart meters not only collect data more efficiently but they're also helpful tools. They can alert us to utility problems, which in turn helps us improve our response times, leading to better service.
