Network installations

A crucial component of our Meter Upgrade project is installing network devices that can communicate usage from the new meters to PSE for billing purposes. These devices are either mounted on poles, or installed as pedestals, in areas prior to meter deployment. They must be located near a power source and within range of customers’ electric/gas meters, as well as other network devices.

Devices are typically installed in easements and rights of way. We choose our locations carefully and do our best to minimize the impact for our customers and their communities.
