If you've had your meter swapped to the newer automated style there's minimal changes that need to be done wiring-wise (if any), it's mostly just administrative hurdles.
The new meters measure consumption bi-directionally out of the box, plus have the ability to prevent power going out when you're in an outage. If they detect the line side has cut out they won't push any power out until it's rectified.
Over 270,000 of the meters have been swapped so far, with the rest to be done this year.
