What are the new meters and why is this needed?

Lane Electric will be deploying Itron Riva meters to better serve our membership. The technology on Lane Electric’s old smart meters is outdated and we can no longer source parts. Our new system will provide better outage reporting, improve restoration times, and enhance reliability. It will also help Lane Electric with planning, utilization, and better operation of our distribution system. Efficiencies that will ultimately save the cooperative valuable time and resources.
