New York A11138 mandates utilities to disclose smart meter information to customers and requires a study on smart meter implementation.

New York A11138, known as the "smart meter transparency and consumer protection act," requires utilities to provide customers with clear, standardized information about smart meters. This includes side-by-side comparisons of pre-smart meter and post-smart meter bills and plain language explanations of any billing changes, including time-of-use pricing and rate structure adjustments. The act also authorizes and directs the public service commission, in coordination with an independent third party, to conduct a comprehensive study on smart meter implementation.
