Metering Partner

EKM Metering

EKM Metering is a trusted hardware and data partner that provides the accurate, revenue-grade submeters and free cloud data access Energy311 relies on to deliver utility-grade billing for solar and submetered properties.

Revenue-grade metering hardware

Based in Santa Cruz, California, EKM designs and sells electric, water, and gas submeters, along with the Push3 data system that delivers unrestricted access to meter data at any scale. Their Omnimeter series offers Class 0.5 accuracy with California Type Approval for revenue-grade metering, measuring voltage, amperage, power factor, and dozens of other parameters. UL-listed and ANSI-certified options are available for projects that require them.

The EKM Push3 gateway connects Omnimeters (and compatible pulse-output water or gas meters) to the cloud with no recurring data fees. It supports real-time reads and summarized historical data, including the 15-minute interval data Energy311 uses to calculate precise time-of-use, demand, and solar-credit bills. A single Push3 can handle up to 126 meters over RS-485, with open API access so data flows directly into Energy311’s billing platform.

For Energy311 customers, this combination means:

Affordable, scalable hardware without ongoing metering or data charges
High-accuracy interval data that supports "to the penny" utility-rate billing
Flexible deployment for commercial, multifamily, industrial, agricultural, and other multi-tenant properties
Reliable integration that keeps the focus on transparent billing and NOI rather than meter infrastructure

Together, EKM’s hardware and Energy311’s billing engine give property owners a practical way to measure usage accurately and turn solar (or submetered) energy into predictable revenue.
