What is demand metering?
A demand meter is a type of meter that records and monitors the peak amount of electricity you require at any given time. The reason that we monitor and bill demand is that FortisBC needs to have that power readily available in the event that a customer requires it. The demand meter records the customer’s energy consumption, measured in KVA, as well as the customer’s demand for every 15-minute interval. The highest peak demand recorded during one 15-minute interval is what is shown and billed on a customer’s statement.
