It was a heads up for Villagers, and the OP was spot on in predicting that the first step would be to switch out our current meters. They have been switching them out, as far as I am aware, since early April 2023.
Does anyone know if they are doing this to start utilizing “Time of Day” billing? It’s where customers are billed higher rates during peak hours of the day, and lower rates during off-peak times. |
The information they provide does not mention time of day billing.
Since SECO does not generate power they may not be affected by time of day usage patterns. On the other hand, if the electricity supplier is allowed to bill SECO by time of day then it's hard to imagine SECO would not pass those costs along to us.
Interesting note: SECO has chosen to go with AMI meters and has provided a list of advantages for the consumer. NSCUDD recently identified same set of advantages but chose to go with the less expensive AMR system instead. NSCUDD is considering a small rate decrease while SECO has just announced a significant rate increase for pole rental. Could be just a coincidence.
