Smart Meters
Ontario is introducing smart meters – along with a "Time-of-Use" electricity price structure – to help you manage your electricity costs, while helping Ontario build a more efficient, more environmentally sound electricity system.
 Smart meters will help Ontario meet its energy needs. Between now and 2025, the province must build almost a whole new electricity system. This includes replacing about 80 per cent of our current generating facilities as they retire over time, and expanding the system to meet our future growth.
Veridian is proud to be a leader in the deployment of smart meters in the Province of Ontario. Installations began on a pilot basis in the community of Sunderland late in 2005. Since then, we've installed more than 107,000 smart meters – bringing us to approximately 96 per cent complete on our Smart Metering objective.

Tour the Smart Meter House
You might also want to take a tour of 10 Smart Meter Lane to see how you can better manage your electricity costs when
Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing* comes into effect. This interactive tool shows how running appliances at different times of the day or week can impact your
electricity bill.
*Notes
- The Ontario Energy Board has established TOU periods and prices but has not confirmed when these rates will be implemented. Veridian will notify customers when this changes and TOU pricing comes into effect.
- The price and electricity consumption figures shown at 10 Smart Meter Lane are illustrative only and are based on many broad generalizations.
