Oncor Releases Week One Side-by-Side Results for Oak Cliff

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oncor released the first results today for the side-by-side meter demonstration program for those participating homes in Oak Cliff. Each week, Oncor will release results to the public, the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the media.

Separately, Oncor also has completed notifying Retail Electric Providers of the process for customers to receive the free meter tests, so customers may begin requesting the tests. Customers who have received a new smart meter, or who have not had their electromechanical meter tested in the past four years, may receive a free meter test from Oncor.

The side-by-side demonstrations are part of Oncor’s Smart Meter Verification Plan, a plan to ensure the accuracy of the smart meters and restore consumer confidence.

While six homes are participating in the demonstrations in Oak Cliff, only two have had the side-by-side meters installed for longer than a day (the others were installed on March 15). Below are the results for those locations, as read on March 16. The other Oak Cliff location results will be released next week, when they have been installed for at least one full week.

Home or Location ID	Date Installed	Mechanical Meter Prior Reading	Mechanical Meter Present Reading	Mechanical Meter Period Usage	Smart Meter Prior Reading	Smart Meter Present Reading	Smart Meter Period Usage	Usage Difference kWh's
D1	03/09/2010	00067	00359	00292	05673	05966	00293	00001
D2	03/11/2010	00000	00268	00268	08681	08951	00270	00002

Results are determined by subtracting the prior reading from the present reading for each meter. This gives the usage for that week. Any difference between the usage for the old electromechanical meter and the new smart meter is noted in the “Usage Difference” columns.
