An arrangement for providing power in an RF transmitter includes a first power supply and a bank of capacitors. The RF transmitter is operably connected to receive commodity consumption information from a measurement circuit of a utility meter. The first power supply is operable to provide power to metering circuitry within the utility meter. The metering circuitry includes an analog to digital converter and at least one processor. The bank of capacitors is operably coupled to provide power to the RF transmitter at least when power requirements of the RF transmitter exceed an amount of power available from the first power supply.
