How does an AMI meter work?

The meters receive and store the kilo­­watt-hour and demand con­sump­tion, then trans­mits this and oth­er data over the pow­er lines to equip­ment locat­ed in one of York Elec­tric’s sub­sta­tions. From the sub­sta­tion, the infor­ma­tion is sent to a com­put­er at our head­quar­ters.
