Question 31-16(3) Smart-Metering Initiative In Sahtu Communities
Oral Questions

October 22nd, 2008

Mr. Speaker, the subsidy’s consumption level of 700

kilowatts hasn’t been

changed since 1988. For the number of users that rely on this subsidy, more important are the months of November, December, January and February.

I’d ask the Minister of NTPC in terms of these subsidy rates…. Since it will be a while until we’re going to have some discussions on changing it, in the interim could the Minister tell me that the Power Corporation is looking at some initiatives and incentives for people in our communities down in the Mackenzie Valley in terms of putting in some meter-reading smart devices that will show people that they are coming close to the subsidy level and that it’s time to unplug some of their appliances so they can save some money? Right now there aren’t any. Can the Minister tell me these meters could be something they could look at in the interim?
