The information displayed on the digital screen of a communicating or non-communicating meter will differ according to the manufacturer. To understand these figures, you first need to identify the model of the meter Hydro‑Québec has installed.
Find the manufacturer’s name
In most cases, the name of the manufacturer can be found above the screen. The meters are generally made by Landis+Gyr, Elster, General Electric (GE) and Itron.
Find the identification number
If the number starts with:
Determine the meter model
Using the first alphanumeric characters of the identification number, identify the model from the list below.
Unable to locate the manufacturer or series of characters corresponding to the meter identification number?
Below are the main displays and information that appear at regular intervals on the screen.
This screen shows that the liquid crystal display is working properly. When the 8s are displayed properly, the LCD is working.
This screen displays the letters LIV for énergie livrée (energy delivered), indicating the total number of kilowatthours (kWh) measured by the meter. The meter displays kWh as a running total, much like how a car odometer displays a running total of the distance travelled. In the image, you can see the total amount of energy consumed is 5 kWh.
When the meter is first installed, it may display a value other than 0. If this is the case, the installer will note the value and it will be subtracted from your next reading so that your bill reflects your actual consumption for the period in question.
This screen displays the letters DMW for demande en watts (watt demand) and indicates the highest power demand (in kW) measured by the meter during a consumption period.
When the contract is for a rate with billed power demand, this value is reset to 0 at the start of each consumption period.
This data is used only for customers whose power demand is billed.

This screen shows that the liquid crystal display is working properly. When the 8s are displayed properly, the LCD is working.
This screen shows the total number of kilowatthours (kWh) measured by the meter. The meter displays kWh as a running total, much like how a car odometer displays a running total of the distance travelled. In the image, you can see the total amount of energy consumed is 1 kWh.
When the meter is first installed, it may display a value other than 0. If this is the case, the installer will note the value and it will be subtracted from your next reading so that your bill reflects your actual consumption for the period in question.
This indicator appears on every screen. The faster the little squares move, the higher the consumption.
Below are the main displays and information that appear at regular intervals on the screen.

This screen shows the total number of kilowatthours (kWh) measured by the meter. The meter displays kWh as a running total, much like how a car odometer displays a running total of the distance travelled. In the image, you can see the total amount of energy consumed is 16 kWh.
When the meter is first installed, it may display a value other than 0. If this is the case, the installer will note the value and it will be subtracted from your next reading so that your bill reflects your actual consumption for the period in question.
This screen indicates information for energy producers (clients enrolled in the net metering option).

The certification process involves 24 physical and electrical tests: temperature variation, electrical discharge, impact from different angles, etc. Hydro-Québec performs these tests to ensure that the meters measure and send our customers’ energy consumption data reliably and very safely, regardless of the weather.
