A system for providing remote monitoring of electricity consumption is
provided. In one embodiment the system may comprise electric meters,
communication devices having a unique address and defining a wireless
communication network, and a site controller. Each electric meter may be
configured to measure electricity consumption of a load. Each
communication device may be associated with one of the electric meters
and configured to receive electricity consumption data and generate a
transmit message using a predefined communication protocol being
implemented by the wireless communication network. The transmit message
may comprise the unique identifier and electricity consumption data. The
site controller may be configured for communication with the wireless
communication network and configured to receive the transmit message from
one of the communication devices, identify the electric meter associated
with the transmit message, and provide information related to the
transmit message to a WAN for delivery to a computer.
