Smart Metering Program

New meters provide better two-way communication across our electrical system. A look at how that pays off for you, from improved safety, reliability and customer service to choice and control that helps you save money.

New meters help upgrade an electricity system that hasn't really changed since the 1950s. See how our old meters stack up against the new meters, and learn how they’ll help you manage your energy use.

Throughout 2012, BC Hydro will continue to upgrade homes and businesses across B.C. with smart meters. Installation takes about 10 minutes, and you don't even need to be home.
