Frequently Asked Questions
Why is ENMAX Power switching to automated meters?
ENMAX Power is modernizing Calgary's electricity grid. Advanced metering technology is the next step in providing customers with more convenience and reliability in their homes and businesses. AMI is industry standard and in operation in most jurisdictions across North America, including the majority of homes and businesses in Canada. The AMI Program has been approved by the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) and will support ENMAX Power in our commitment to continue to provide reliable power to all Calgarians.
Do advanced meters store personal information that someone could access?
The data that is collected by the AMI meter and shared with ENMAX Power is limited to the meter number and the electricity usage data — only the electricity consumption and a unique code that identifies the transmitter is stored. To provide further security, this data is encrypted before it's transmitted to ENMAX Power.
