The provincial government has given BC Hydro another year to install their smart meters.
The utility has already put in 93 percent of the 1.87 million meters – they only have 140,000 left.
The province says hydro crews have had to deal with shortages in qualified labour, equipment and specialized meters, as well as customer concerns.
The deadline to have them all installed has now been extended from Dec. 31, 2012 to Dec. 31, 2013.
