Braintree Electric Light Department (BELD) has announced the launch of a state-of-the-art meter project called Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The new system will provide customers with many important benefits, including remote meter reading and early detection and reporting of outages. These improvements will result in more efficient repair and response times.

"Restoring power as quickly as possible after an outage has always been a top priority at BELD," said Municipal Light Board Chairman Tony Agnitti during a recent meeting with Vice Chair Jim Regan and Secretary Tom Reynolds. "This system will help us do that even more efficiently."

The AMI project will be phased in over a two-year period, during which all BELD residential and business accounts will be equipped with an upgraded electric meter.
