When Commonwealth Edison filed its plan for smart meters with regulators in 2011, leveraging the meters for power outages wasn\u2019t explicitly laid out in the business case as a benefit. But the utility \u201caspired to have [its] meters connected to outage management,\u201d Ryan Mayer, an operations dispatcher at ComEd, said during a presentation at Itron Utility Week 2019.<\/p>\n

ComEd knew there would be benefits from using smart meters during outages but had trouble quantifying them to regulators at the time. The results have exceeded the utility’s expectations. Now ComEd can ping more than 500 meters in under a minute to locate trouble spots during widespread outages. Now, the utility doesn\u2019t provide an estimated time of restoration to a customer without pinging the meter first in order to ensure greater accuracy.<\/p>\n

ComEd, which serves parts of Illinois, including Chicago, is not even one of the utilities hardest hit by severe weather in recent years. Across the globe, natural disasters are becoming more frequent, more extreme and more costly. Increasingly, customers and regulators don\u2019t just want to see average outage times shaved down; instead, they want their power companies to invest in solutions that can facilitate rapid recovery, even in the face of extreme weather. Still, however, there is often a disconnect between customers and utilities about how much effort is being put into rapid recovery.<\/p>\n
