Research and development are essential to Tipmont’s ongoing journey in energy transformation, where we’re seeking more sustainable, efficient ways to deliver the power you need. We’re not simply adapting to changing times. We’re leading the way in the cooperative space with tremendous benefit to you as a Tipmont member.
I wanted to offer you an update on our largest-scale initiative in our energy transformation efforts — our upgrades to every meter in use across Tipmont’s service territory. We’re nearly to the halfway point of a project that started in 2024 to upgrade to Revelo® smart meters. After some supply chain delays and rigorous troubleshooting to ensure the exceptional results you expect from Tipmont, we anticipate completing this project in 2027.
So, what will this mean for you? Here are several benefits:
- Better and faster data to help detect issues before problems arise
- “Last Gasp” technology that notifies Tipmont if your power goes out, which means our crews spend less time patrolling lines for issues to restore your service faster
- The ability to leverage bidirectional flow from solar arrays, electric vehicles and more
- Leading-edge technology from Sense, which lets you monitor your home’s electricity in real time in ways that can help you save energy and money.
As this project continues, Tipmont will mail you a postcard when your meter is scheduled for an upgrade. You don’t need to schedule an appointment or be at home when it happens. If your service is interrupted, it should last no longer than five minutes. And once we’re done, we’ll leave a door hanger to let you know we were there.
Find more information, a current deployment schedule and an FAQ at tipmont.com/ami. Also, learn more about the Sense app that these meters offer at tipmont.com/sense.
