Eversource Smart Meters:

A smart meter is an electric meter that sends data about the energy you use in your home to a network device, which then provides the data to us. The meter sends data over our secure network and also doesn't send any of your personal information, making for safe communication with our system.

We're exchanging all existing electric meters with smart meters.

When?
From the second half of 2025 to 2028 we’ll exchange the meters, starting in Western Massachusetts and moving east.

Why?
Smart meters are one important part of how we’re building a more modern, reliable and clean energy grid for the future. It makes sense to replace your current meter with the latest technology that will also enhance your electric service.

What’s in it for you?
• See the information collected by your smart meter through your online account. This enables you to monitor and manage the
energy you use.
• See the projected amount of your next bill. Based on the energy you use daily, you’ll see what your next bill may be in your online account.
• Automatic power outage reporting. We’ll know automatically if your power goes out.
• Sign up to receive additional notifications:
— High-usage alerts. If the amount of
energy you use goes above a set level
based on the amount of energy you’ve
used in the past.
— High-bill alerts. When your bill goes
above an amount that you set during a
billing cycle.
