Salt River Projects (SRPs) Advanced Data Acquisition and Management Program involved deployment of an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) system, a meter data management system (MDMS), and an energy management web portal for customers. The new two-way communication system relays customer electricity data to the utility, where upgraded software platforms analyze and process the data for billing and other back office systems. SRP also expanded the existing time-of-use rates to include AMI interval data for a time-of-day rate, empowering customers to help reduce peak demand on the system. Integration of the AMI and MDMS infrastructure with SRPs customer information system (CIS) has enabled full end-to-end system automation for core metering functions such as remote connect/disconnect.
