About our electric meter upgrades

We’re upgrading our electric meters in higher wildfire risk areas. The upgrades help to improve safety and reliability at no cost to customers. These new meters modernize your home’s connection to the grid. The meters make it easier to take advantage of new energy tools and programs as they become available. Customers benefit without the need for another meter replacement.

New electric meters and technology help us:

• Respond faster to power outages.
• Improve safety and detect risks on the electric grid sooner.
• Support modern home energy use, including electric vehicle (EV) charging.

PG&E meter readers make every effort to read our meters monthly. You may want to know when we're coming so that you can plan accordingly. Sometimes, you must provide our meter readers access to your system.

Follow these steps to learn the dates that we plan to visit and read our meter:

Step 1. Locate the Service Information section on the right side of your PG&E monthly statement.

Step 2. Find your corresponding serial letter in the first or last column on the table.

Step 3. Learn the dates that we plan to visit by viewing the row that matches your serial letter in the following table.

• In the table below, locate your serial letter in the Serial column.
• In the same row as your serial letter, locate the date we will read our meter(s) each month.

 Note: We plan to read our meter on the date shown on the schedule. The date may shift to an earlier or later date, due to business considerations. View a printable version of the 2026 meter reading schedule (PDF).
