Volunteer to be part of the MLGW Smart Grid Demonstration!In late 2009, the Memphis City Council approved $1million from the MLGW budget to create a three-year demonstration of 1,000 smart meters among volunteer customers within the MLGW service area. MLGW is seeking 1,000 residential customers to demonstrate how greater energy information can help lower utility costs.
• You can live anywhere in Shelby County and participate as long as cellular coverage is adequate in your area.
• Renters must have lived in their homes at least three years.
• 1,000 volunteers will receive a FREE advanced electric meter.
• Many will receive a FREE in-home energy display to monitor their home’s real-time electricity use and cost details. Others will view information online through a new section in My Account.

MLGW will select 1,000 volunteers from the applicants. If you are selected, you will be notified in early June. Since customer feedback is essential to the success of this project, volunteers are required to respond to surveys about their experience. Installation of electric smart meters at volunteers’ homes will be completed by the end of 2010.
Did you know? In 2008 MLGW households used 36% more electricity than the U.S. average. Imagine how much money you spent on wasted energy. Smart Grid technology is another tool to help customers identify energy consumption and make improvements to lower their usage—which lowers their utility costs.
