Benefits of AMI
AMI meters help make your bill more accurate by removing the possibility of estimates, so you’re charged based on what you use. You’ll also get better insight into when and how you use energy, helping you make informed choices and manage your costs.
At the same time, AMI helps us detect outages sooner and restore power faster, so you spend less time without service. Your information is protected through secure systems, and this technology will support new tools to help you better understand and manage your energy use.
Will installing an AMI meter increase my bill?
We know your energy bill matters. Installing an AMI meter won’t increase your costs. Your usage will continue to be measured under the same strict standards set by Measurement Canada, so your bill remains accurate and fair.
The difference with an AMI meter is that it provides more detailed information about your energy use. This can help you better understand your consumption and identify opportunities to save, for example, spotting higher-than-usual usage that may be caused by an appliance running inefficiently or being left on, or seeing how a new appliance affects your usage.
