Smart Meters
We are modernizing the electrical grid to meet your energy needs
Smart meters are one of the ways NB Power is modernizing the power grid to provide you with the best possible service into the future.
A smart meter looks similar to the current meter on your home. What makes it different is that it allows two-way communication, over a secure network, giving you the information you need to see and manage your energy use.

What are the benefits of smart meters?
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Your online access to detailed energy information will help you make informed usage decisions.
QUICKER SERVICE
Smart meters enable us to remotely connect and reconnect service to your home so you get quicker service at a time that’s convenient for you.
FASTER POWER RESTORATION
In many cases, smart meters will send notices to NB Power when the power is out. This allows us to start the restoration as quickly as possible so we can get the power back on faster.
GREENER OPERATIONS
NB Power can do more work remotely and that means fewer visits and lower carbon emissions.
SAVE WITH HIGH USAGE ALERTS
You will be able to set up alerts to let you know when your energy use goes up and get tips on how to lower it so you can stay on budget.
A MODERN GRID
Smart meters are part of a new modern digital energy network that will benefit all New Brunswickers.
