Opt Out of a Smart Meter

Smart meters are devices that send near real-time electric-use information from our customers' homes and businesses to PSE&G via a secure communications network.

They are part of our Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), which creates a secure, two-way communications system between electric customers and PSE&G.  This allows us to deliver even better customer service and provide our residential and business electric customers with a wide variety of benefits, including:

• Near real-time meter reading
• The elimination of almost all estimated electric bills
• Access to more detailed electric use information via the MyMeter portal
• Near real-time power outage detection
• Lower PSE&G carbon dioxide emissions due to fewer repair-truck dispatches and other operational energy savings

 

In the future, smart meters will also allow PSE&G to restore power more efficiently after storms and enable more renewable energy projects and more robust energy efficiency efforts.

Smart Meter Safety and Cybersecurity

Smart meters are safe. They use low power radio frequency (RF) that is generally far less than RF used by devices already in the home such as baby monitors, cell phones, microwaves, TVs and wireless routers.

Smart meters do not collect, store or transmit any personal information.

PSE&G has a comprehensive cybersecurity plan to protect the data that the smart meters do collect, and we will only use this information to provide better service to customers. PSE&G will not sell this data to third parties.

 

Smart Meter Installations

During the past several years, PSE&G has communicated with our electric customers to inform them that we are installing smart meters and to encourage them to make an installation appointment when necessary.

While PSE&G has completed most smart meter installations, residential electric customers who do not yet have a smart meter can still have one installed. Business electric customers are required to have a smart meter.

To arrange a smart meter installation appointment, call 908-325-.  Representatives are available Monday ' Friday from 8:00am to 8:00pm.

• If you are a residential electric customer and you do not have a smart meter installed, and you do not make an installation appointment, you will be charged a $12 monthly fee starting in January . 
• Business customers are required to have a smart meter installed as a condition of receiving electric service, per PSE&G's Smart Meter Program, which was approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU).  Business electric customers who do not make a smart meter installation appointment are at risk of having their service shut-off.
