PSE&G Replacing Existing Meters With New Smart Meters

PSE&G is completing its smart meter program in 2024. Meters in our town are going to be replaced beginning this month – March 2024. All customers will receive a letter 45 days prior to installation. If the meter is located outside, they will not need to be home. If the meter is inside, they will be contacted for an appointment.

PSE&G employees as well as employees of Contract Callers Inc. (CCI) will be installing the meters. Both PSE&G and CCI employees will use marked vehicles and carry photo identification. Most installations take only a few minutes, and there will be a brief power interruption while the technician changes the meter.

The new smart meter will, among other things: provide you with more information about your electric use, allow automatic, near real-time meter reading that will eliminate almost all estimated electric bills, enable near real-time power outage detection and make storm restoration work more efficient
