Meter Journey & Use Cases for Automation

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.

Below is the journey that meters typically follow as they go from data authorization to active participation on the grid and finally to reporting and monetary settlement. Highlighted under each stage are the relevant automation scenarios and use cases.
