Smart Metering Initiative (SMI)
Government of Ontario
The Government of Ontario has committed to install a smart electricity meter in all Ontario homes and small businesses by the end of 2010. Smart metering and smart sub-metering in condominiums is part of the government’s smart metering plan. Please see the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure's website for updates.
IESO Smart Metering System Implementation Program
The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has entered into an arrangement with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) whereby the IESO will support the Government's smart metering initiative by coordinating and project-managing implementation activities. The IESO’s framework for carrying out this work is the Smart Metering System Implementation Program (SMSIP).
