Electric metering is an essential tool in managing energy consumption, ensuring accurate billing, and identifying potential issues with the electrical infrastructure.

For campgrounds, electric metering is particularly important. Campgrounds have tens to hundreds of campsites, each with its own electrical hookup. Without electric metering, it would be impossible to accurately measure the amount of electricity used by each campsite, making it difficult to bill consumers appropriately.

However, electric metering is not just important for billing. It also allows campgrounds to monitor their overall energy usage and identify areas of high usage. With this information, campgrounds can implement measures to reduce their overall energy consumption and become more sustainable.

For example, a campground might identify that its bathhouses are using a significant amount of electricity. By installing more energy-efficient lighting or switching to low-flow shower heads, the campground can reduce its energy usage and save money on its utility bills. Electric metering can help to track the effectiveness of these measures over time and ensure that the campground is operating as efficiently as possible.

Electric metering can also help to identify potential issues with the electrical infrastructure. For example, a campsite might be experiencing repeated power outages. By reviewing the meter data, campground staff can identify if the issue is with the electrical infrastructure or if the customer is simply overloading the circuit. This can help to avoid major electrical problems and ensure that the campground's equipment is running efficiently.
