In 2013, Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative installed digital AMI meters with a communications module manufactured by Sensus Corporation, based in Raleigh, NC. CHEC installed Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) meters to deliver better service, improve system reliability through better outage management and preventive maintenance. Along with the many efficiencies, the digital meters also assist our staff by allowing us to troubleshoot high-bill problems. The meters provide information about total power consumption patterns, outage and blink count history and voltage information. The system automatically notifies CHEC of outages, improving our response time for individual or isolated outages.
