PowerCentsDC is an advanced or "smart" meter pilot program for approximately 800 to 900 customers who are already enrolled in the program. The program began in
mid-July, 2008, and ended in October 2009. It is sponsored by Smart Meter Pilot Program, Inc., a non-profit organization comprised of the Consumer Utility Board, the District of Columbia Office of the People's Counsel, the District of Columbia Public Service Commission, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and Pepco.
PowerCentsDC ended in October 2009 after operating for two summers and one winter. We have gathered sufficient information regarding customer response to residential smart pricing to serve as a guide to future program design. SMPPI will now focus its remaining resources on analyzing the results and seeking customer feedback. We will then share our findings with District and national policymakers who are exploring long-term policy options involving smart metering.
