Submetering pays for itself at most Texas properties. Residents are billed for what their unit uses, consumption drops, and the owner stops absorbing the master-meter bill. The PUCT sets the billing rules, and NES handles the registration and compliance. NES has done the installs, daily reads, and resident billing in-house since 1968.
From an NES case study at a 337-unit apartment community, comparing submetered units with units not yet metered about halfway through the rollout. Results vary by property.
