These meters which had much of the functionality of smart meters, allowed Manitoba Hydro to retrieve meter readings electronically, rather than having a representative access a meter directly to take a reading.<\/p>\n<p>As of yet, Manitoba Hydro has not chosen to proceed with further installation of AMI meters. There are a total of approximately 5,500 electricity and natural gas AMI meters installed in Winnipeg. The vast majority of Manitoba Hydro\u2019s customers still have traditional style meters. Reading these meters is simple, but can cause some initial confusion.<\/p>\n<p>Manitoba Hydro meters use an old-style dial display, with four or five clock-like dials in a row. To reach each dial, simply look at each dial arm, and record the number that the arm is pointing at. If a dial is pointing between two numbers, record the lower of the two numbers.<\/p>\n<p>You may see that each dial has a label on it, saying \u201c10 thousand,\u201d \u201c1 million,\u201d and so on. This is because each dial, depending on its position, represents a different place value. But don\u2019t worry about it. Simply record the series of numbers, and report the reading to Manitoba Hydro.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still uncertain as to how to read your meter, Energyrates.ca has an in-depth blog post on how to read an <a href=\"\/?p=508\">old-style energy meter<\/a>, complete with quizzes to test your skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are certain situations where it is recommended or required that a Manitoba Hydro customer perform a meter reading for their natural gas or electricity billing.
