Meter Journey & Automation Use Cases

Meters are the basic units of inventory providing grid services. Meters represent your end customers and the devices sitting behind the utility meter which will enroll in grid services programs to unlock revenue and support the grid by responding to dispatches. Highlighted in the boxes below are the four phases that meters typically follow as they go from enrollment to active participation on the grid and finally to reporting and monetary settlement.

Check out the Automation Use Cases guide for a summary of the use cases that fall under each of these phases as well as a utility meter vs. device program differences.
