AMI hardware costs have declined by more than a fifth over the past decade. By 2005 - 06, the average hardware cost
per meter was estimated to be $76. The capital costs related to communications infrastructure installations ranges from $125 - $150 per meter.
Benefits associated with AMI deployment can be broadly categorized as:

The AMI implementation lays the foundation for utilities not only to execute smart metering deployments in the millions but to seek to perform condition based maintenance (CBM). CBM will extend the useful life and make greater utilization of transmission and distribution substations assets by using technology to monitor the assets' health and performance.
