Hey, so for the past year, we have been building an off grid system. All is good and running fine for the past few months with our meter off and using our generator as needed.
Now we’re at the point of where we feel comfortable ending our electrical service. However, I was not aware here in Alberta Canada that we would continue paying delivery charges, service fees, and riders due to the metre and electrical poles/overhead powerlines being on our property.
When I went to cancel the service, it seemed a bit of a shock to consider that they would pull all of the supply equipment on our land.
Also, we would be at cost if in the future if things don’t work out and we require a grid service again. I figured in the back of my mind that they would just leave everything there in case it was needed in the future.
Has anyone else done this? I don’t really wanna pay service delivery fees for an electricity that I’m not using. It just feels final and possibly expensive in the future. Lol.
