After the meter has been installed, the functionality of the new smart meter will be available to you in the next few weeks. We will begin recording your daily energy usage information and make that available to you within the next billing period or two.
You will be able to view your energy usage and costs associated with that usage on a daily basis. We will also provide estimated costs for your daily usage. For each day in your billing period, you can see how much your usage cost on a daily basis.** Even after your bill has generated, you can check online to see daily usage and costs since your last bill. That information will be available to you almost real time, which gives you better command of your utility bill.
We encourage you to set usage alerts to proactively alert you if the costs for your usage exceed the threshold you have established. You can choose to get an email or, better yet, an even quicker notification through the Mobile App.
The Mid Billing Cycle Estimate sends you a notification midway thru your billing period. It shows the estimated energy costs thru the first 15 days of your next billing period. This can provide insight into how your bill is shaping up and give you an opportunity to make an impact on your next bill.
* At this time, solar customers and a few other meters will not have insight into daily usage. Dominion Energy will continue to work toward a solution to present this data to this segment of customers.
** Daily usage details are available after both eligible meters have been upgraded.
