The introduction of new technologies such as Smart Meters by NB Power and SaskPower should not be at the detriment of the propane industry and its customers. According to the CPA, provincial regulatory authorities across Canada should require that utility providers install smart meters that are not deemed as a source of ignition. Furthermore, regulatory authorities must ensure that future propane installations can be placed within three feet of any meters, smart or not. The CPA has submitted written arguments and requested intervener status.
