CenterPoint Energy has received the results of independent tests that verify the accuracy of its smart electric meters. Earlier this year, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) requested the tests be performed on all smart meters being installed by utilities across Texas after consumers in some parts of the state expressed concerns about the accuracy of digital smart meters compared to traditional electromechanical meters.
The tests, conducted by Navigant Consulting LLC, confirm the accuracy of CenterPoint Energy’s smart meters, manufactured by Itron, Inc., as well as the effectiveness of the utility’s meter data management and data transfer process and controls. All of the thousands of CenterPoint Energy smart meters tested were found to be accurate by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards.
