What will happen if I cannot or do not install a smart meter? Luke Morton 14 January 2022 03:19 Updated If you cannot or do not install a smart meter we will not place you on time-of-use pricing. You will pay a single price for electricity at all times, and your meter will be read manually on a quarterly basis. You will, however, have the option to avoid bill shock by electing to pay a regular amount on a monthly basis. This program is called SmoothPay. If you elect to pay by SmoothPay, we will charge an agreed amount each of the first two months of the quarter, and then charge the remainder of your dues in the third month after we have read your meter and prepared a bill.
