SaskPower is assisting with the recall that could impact roughly 1,000 customers in Saskatchewan. 

ABB Electrification Canada is recalling meter sockets. The affected sockets were manufactured between March 2020 and August 2020. They were purchased by home builders and contractors to install. The part is separate from the electrical meter itself – it is what the meter itself plugs into on the outside of a building.  

Klein’s Cabling and Electric is a Regina-based company that has been hired by ABB to take care of inspections of the affected sockets and to make repairs if necessary. SaskPower itself will not be involved in the process of the repairs in any way, aside from temporarily disconnecting power if a repair is needed. 

To assist with the recall, SaskPower is sending letters to affected customers on behalf of ABB Electrification Canada. These letters detail the situation and explain what the next steps are.  

Those with questions can contact ABB at 1-877-257-8850.
