Why WA Canada Meters?

Made in Canada

WA Canada is establishing Canadian electricity meter manufacturing to provide utilities with a domestic supply option, responsive production support, and closer alignment between product delivery and Canadian market needs, and to drive local jobs.

Our Canadian manufacturing approach emphasizes quality control, traceability, dependable delivery, and long-term support throughout the meter lifecycle.

One Meter. Any Network. total flexibility.

The Aventa® Meter uses a modular, network-agnostic architecture that can support multiple communications providers. This gives Canadian utilities greater flexibility to align metering hardware with their preferred AMI network, adapt as strategies evolve, and reduce dependence on a single proprietary ecosystem.

Engineered for Canadian Utility Requirements

The Aventa Meter is engineered for accuracy, safety, interoperability, and dependable operation in Canadian utility environments. The platform is designed to support applicable Measurement Canada, ANSI, IEC, IEEE, NEMA, and UL requirements, subject to the approvals and configurations applicable to each product release.

Reliable Power Under Any Conditions

The Aventa Meter delivers true power-supply resilience. Every meter comes with a supercapacitor that provides backup power during outages. This standard feature reduces the need for frequent replacements, lowering the total cost of ownership while ensuring continuous operation and accurate data in the harshest environments, even during abnormal service conditions. Because the grid never stops, neither can the meter.

Built-In Safety and Tamper Intelligence

Advanced tamper, temperature, and arc detection features support safer operations and reduce risk, backed by exception-based reporting for faster field response, improved crew protection, and issue management before a problem arises.

Configurable Load Profiles And KYZ Measurement

Our AMI 2.0 meters deliver flexible load profile modeling and KYZ pulse support for highly accurate billing and energy settlement. With up to four independent profile sets and 16 configurable channels per set, utilities gain deep visibility into usage patterns across diverse customer classes, while KYZ pulse outputs ensure precise and real-time load data for reliable energy management and demand response programs.

Enhanced Security at the Grid Edge

As utilities add more intelligence at the grid’s edge, smart meters are increasingly targeted. The Aventa Meter is “Crytica Ready,” which means security protection is embedded, scalable, and immediately actionable for utilities. When the meter is equipped with Crytica’s Rapid Detection, Alert and isolation (RDAi™) technology, it provides advanced, device-level cybersecurity directly inside the meter to detect threats in seconds.

Faster Field Work with Bluetooth^® Local Communications

Technicians can safely and securely access meter data via Bluetooth ® -enabled local communications that connect easily to standard field tools across a variety of common platforms, simplifying field service calls.

Ready for Canadian Grid Conditions

Designed for 60 Hz operation and a wide range of service conditions, the Aventa Meter supports accurate, reliable performance across Canada’s diverse operating environments, from extreme winter temperatures to demanding summer conditions.

Extended Warranty as a Standard

We stand behind meter performance with a standard 3-year warranty, providing confidence, reducing lifecycle cost, and improving utility procurement value.

Advanced Performance at a Competitive Price

Our customers don’t have to pay more for best-in-class quality, interoperability, and choice. Our competitive pricing and flexible design deliver value that scales efficiently and economically. Our customers get the feature-rich meter they expect without the premium price.
