SaskPower ‘very confident’ in smart meter program re-launch
Failures in the past aside, SaskPower has moved forward and feels confident its re-launched smart meter program will be successful this time around.
The crown has announced it has begun testing the meters on some industrial and commercial buildings, three years after thousands of meters were removed after numerous fires were reported.
A total of 500 meters will be installed and tested on the sites of two industrial customers, along with some SaskPower and SaskEnergy buildings.
SaskPower President and CEO Mike Marsh believes they’ve learned their lessons from the past and things will go more smoothly now.
