Depending on the type of meter reading or recording system that a customer uses to track their electricity usage, the delivery charges may vary. Here are some of the common types of meter reading systems:
Advanced Metering System – Monthly (AMS-M): This charge is applicable to customers who have an advanced meter installed at their home that measures electricity usage in real-time and sends that usage data to the utility or TDSP on a monthly basis.
Advanced Metering System – Real-Time (AMS-R): This charge is similar to AMS-M, but the usage data is sent to the utility or TDSP in real-time, which enables more precise and accurate billing.
Non-Advanced Metering System (Non-AMS): This charge is for customers who don’t have an advanced meter installed at their home. These customers are usually billed based on an estimate of their electricity usage, which is determined by the utility or TDSP.
