PSEG Smart Meter Information

Please be advised that residential properties will be receiving letters from PSE&G in the near future informing them that PSE&G is going to begin deployment of smart electric meters in the City of Rahway.  These meters 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

 

PSE&G has hired Contact Callers Inc (CCI) to perform the meter installations.  Additional information regarding smart meters and their benefits is available at pseg.com/smartmeters  as well as in the links below.
