BC Hydro extends smart meter deadline amid refusals
BC Hydro keeps its end date for the smart meter rollout at fiscal 2014 while extending the legal deadline to December 31, 2013. The move comes as shortages and accessibility issues slow installation. About 1.74 million meters installed, 120,000 remaining, many refused or inaccessible. The article notes meter access is required under the Electric Tariff and that meters are BC Hydro property.
