Ontario’s Electrical Safety Authority is directing local utilities to replace a certain model of smart meter “as a preventative step” after reviewing reports of problematic metres in Saskatchewan. Last summer, the Saskatchewan government ordered SaskPower to remove more than 100,000 newer model meters that had already been installed after reports of nine fires related to the equipment. OESA has ordered the removal of 5,400 meters in Ontario, which is a tenth of a per cent of the 4.8 million meters in the province.
