In 2026, SaskPower will continue installing Smart Meters in the City of Martensville as part of its province-wide initiative to modernize Saskatchewan’s power system.
Smart Meters help improve reliability, support a cleaner and more efficient power grid, and reduce the need for manual meter readings. There is no cost to customers for the installation.
Residents will receive advance notice from SaskPower before their Smart Meter is installed. Installations are completed by trained SaskPower contractors, and in most cases, the process is quick and does not require the homeowner to be present.
For more information about Smart Meters, including installation timelines and what to expect, visit SaskPower’s Smart Meter webpage.
