Mayor’s Message

Saving Money in the Middle of the Night

Murray City Power (MCP) is always looking for ways to improve customer service, lower costs, and improve reliability. Over the last few years, MCP personnel have researched ways to reach these goals. After careful consideration, MCP has decided to implement Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) to address these concerns.

System deployment will take a few years to fully build and implement. However, MCP personnel have already started installing all the meters, towers, relays and necessary infrastructure, which will result in signi cant cost savings to customers.

This new technology will signi cantly enhance customer experience and is something for which many MCP customers have been asking. Customers will be noti ed when their AMI meters are installed.

A FEW OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS NEW SYSTEM ARE:

• AMI provides two-way meter communication, allowing remote “osite” reads for customers adding or closing their account.

AMI’s ability to remotely connect and disconnect service will in-

• AMI will alert MCP personnel as to when there is an outage at a specific address. This information will be critical in getting power restored, greatly reducing outage times.

• AMI will allow MCP to implement time-of-use billing options. For example, time-of-use (TOU) billing may be used to incentivize electric vehicles (EV) owners to charge EV’s during o -peak hours, or set high-energy demand appliances like dishwashers and washing machines to run during o -peak hours or in the middle of the night.

• AMI will increase grid e ciency. Customers will be able to see their energy consumption in real-time and view how di erent appliances a ect their bill using a Gridstream Connect App.

These are just a few of the many bene ts of the AMI system. AMI will also support Public Works (water meters) in addition to MCP. Working together with Murray’s Public Works and Information Technology Departments is integral in getting AMI built and functional for Murray City Utility customers.

For questions about AMI, please contact Murray City Power directly at 801-264-2730.
