QEC would like to inform customers that meter reads will not be conducted for November’s billing cycle in response to territory-wide COVID-19 restrictions. Protecting the well-being of QEC staff and Nunavut communities is a priority while the corporation continues to safely provide a critical service.
Electricity bills will be estimated in all communities with the exception of Iqaluit, which has smart meter technology. Smart meter technology sends information electronically, which eliminates the need for manual reads.
Estimated meter reads are calculated by using the previous month’s consumption. The estimate may be higher or lower than actual energy usage, but the difference will be corrected with the next manual meter read.
Customers are encouraged to contact Customer Care at 1-866-710-4200 or by emailing CustomerCare@qec.nu.ca with any questions or concerns.
