New Westminster, BC switching public utility to Advanced Metering Infrastructure

New Westminster, BC Public Utility Advanced Metering

The city's electrical utility plans citywide replacement of household meters with wireless AMI devices over a six-month period. Wireless meters allow for real-time usage data that produce accurate bills and encourage energy-efficient behaviors. The data also help utility workers stay ahead of outages and surges. Householders concerned about privacy or wireless communications can opt out of real-time data transfers. This project was delayed until further notice by COVID-19.
