Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is a system of meters and communication networks that sends and records electricity consumption data in daily (or shorter) intervals. This provides consumers with insight into how and when they are using electricity. To empower customers to reduce their energy use, metering data should be paired with customer engagement tools, time-of-use (TOU) pricing, and programs with incentives. The City of Bozeman will coordinate with NorthWestern Energy and encourage early deployment of AMI for Bozeman residents, as well as encourage NorthWestern Energy to couple AMI with real-time resource consumption and generation source information for their customers.
