Murray Wood: The most charming words kids say are usually the wrong ones
Kids mispronounce the funniest things. And Murray Wood thinks that sometimes, parents shouldn't rush to fix them.
SaskPower has temporarily pulled the plug on its mass installation of smart meters across Saskatchewan.
In a media release Monday, the Crown corporation said the program had been put on hold due to a shortage of meters.
“Like many companies, our smart meter manufacturer is facing a continued shortage of microchips, a key component of meters, due to ongoing global supply chain issues,” the company said in the release.
“Some of our farm and rural customers were previously notified that they were receiving a meter in the spring of 2022. However, due to the shortage, their smart meter installation will be delayed.”
SaskPower said it would be sending letters to those customers to let them know about the delay.
In November, the company announced it was preparing to install smart meters across the province after a pilot project put residential smart meters on the homes of 17,000 volunteers earlier in 2021.
Another 45,000 commercial and industrial smart meters have been installed in the province.
Installations will resume as the supply of the smart meters grows.
