  • As of 2018, 134,846,454 electric meters have been installed in residential buildings in the United States, according to the EIA.
  • The adoption of smart meters is growing throughout the nation. A total of 76,498,388 advanced (smart) metering infrastructure (AMI) have been installed in residential buildings as of 2018.
