SoCalGas seeks meter upgrade
From Times Wire Services
Sempra Energy’s Southern California Gas Co. utility sought regulatory approval for a $1.1-billion program to upgrade about 6 million gas meters to provide more data on energy consumption.
The utility said it had applied for approval of the new automated two-way communications system with the California Public Utilities Commission. Installation could begin as early as 2011, it said.
The commission approved a $572-million meter-upgrade program for Sempra’s San Diego Gas & Electric utility in 2007.
