So Dominion power recently swapped out our old spinning disc style meter with a smart meter (Centron Itron maybe?). I know there are a couple Dominion employees I've seen around here, so they may understand the following better than I can.
1) I think I have a good read on how to read kWh from the meter, but on the screen labeled kW, it seems to always display the same number when I look. Is this maybe a peak demand during some time period?
2) Is there a way to look at my instantaneous demand? I haven't figured out anything similar to the "how fast is my disc spinning" test.
3) Will this smarter meter currently/eventually be advantageous for me as a BEV owner maybe based on time of day charging or anything like that?
3a) When I have a circuit installed for my EV charger(s) is there anything I could/should to to better take advantage of any programs offered by Dominon?
The dominion website is a bit overwhelming for some of these things to an outsider. I found rate schedules from what I believe to be a since discontinued pilot program for time of day charging rates for BEVs, but not much current.
