Smart electricity meters have cost double what they were supposed to and haven’t
saved Ontarians money by changing the times we use power, a major study by the
provincial auditor general has found. A big problem with the $2-billion project,
aside from the fact it was supposed to cost $1 billion, is that politicians
haven’t insisted on charging much higher prices to people who use a lot of
electricity at times of really high demand. That means we’ve spent all that
money for smart meters but aren’t getting the benefits. via
