Consumers Energy says its customers will be able to choose their own billing dates as the utility rolls out new smart meter technology statewide. The company says smart meters enable residents to check out how much power they’ve been using on a day to day level. The meters also make billing more accurate. As Consumers Energy gets more of the meters installed in homes, it says customers will be able to pick when they’re billed by logging into their accounts at the company’s website. The utility is now in the process of installing smart meters, and will roll them out in more cities throughout the fall.
