Smart Meters - An Integral Part of Ontario's Energy Plan

Horizon Utilities Corporation is proud to support the provincial government's goal of installing a smart meter in every Ontario home and small business by 2010. Smart meter technology will help consumers better manage their electricity use, encourage energy conservation, and assist in curbing climate change.

To date over 75,000 smart meters have been installed within the Horizon Utilities service territory. By the end of 2008, 145,000 of our 233,000 customers will have a smart meter.

The information on these pages is designed to assist you in understanding how smart meters and information about your energy consumption can help you change your energy usage patterns in order to reduce peak demand in Ontario and save money on your electricity bill.

Smart Meter Installations

Our next wave of smart meter deployments will take place during the period of April to June 2008 and will involve installing 20,000 smart meters in the communities of Dundas and West Hamilton Mountain areas. Please view the maps below to review the specific targeted deployment areas.

In addition to the mass deployment of smart meters, whenever a traditional hydro meter in any area of Horizon's service territory requires replacement, it will be replaced with a smart meter. As well, all new homes will have smart meter installed at the time of connection.
