Does the AMI meter automatically notify York Electric when my power goes out?

No. The AMI meters oper­ate on a polling basis (active sam­pling of exter­nal devices’ sta­tus by an elec­tron­ic pro­gram) and do not imme­di­ate­ly noti­fy the co-op when an out­age occurs. When you have an out­age or emer­gency sit­u­a­tion, you are encour­aged to call us. The AMI meter will help us ver­i­fy the prob­lem. Call 1–866–374‑1234 to report an out­age.
