Newfoundland Power Customers Report Soaring Bills Amid Scrutiny Over Metering System

Customers of Newfoundland Power in Canada are reporting significant increases in their electricity bills, with some amounts nearly doubling. One customer's bill for an unused shed reportedly jumped from $22 to $207 in January. The Consumer Advocate's office has received over 80 complaints and is calling for an investigation, suggesting the company's meters may be outdated and lack the benefits of smart meters used elsewhere. Customers have expressed a lack of confidence in the current metering system.
