Smart Meter

Segment Definition

Meters can be for commerical, residential, or industrial use. A meter that records a customer's

electricity usage for time intervals of one hour or less, and can transmit that information to the

utility without the need for a human meter reader. Depending on the feature set, the meter

may also notify the utility of a power outage, provide pricing or other information to the

customer, or allow the utility to remotely switch electricity service on or off.

MethodologyZpryme utilized both secondary and primary research sources to develop these market forecasts. Publicly
