In Reply Comments sent to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) PG&E declared its support of an analog meter option.  "PG&E supports approval of an analog meter option, in addition to the non-communicating radio-off option, in response to customers' and parties' continued requests for an analog meter alternative in Opening Comments, as well as in customers' direct communications to PG&E and the Commission."
"PG&E has received the very clear message that some customers will only be satisfied with an analog meter option."

This is a major concession from PG&E.  However, we still need the CPUC to hear loud and clear that we need:

  • a no cost analog opt-out, no initial or monthly fees
  • meters co-located in banks banned and restored to analogs
  • immediate restoration of analog meters for people suffering  health impacts
  • evidentiary hearings and investigation into RF health impacts
  • Community wide opt-outs and safe zones

It will be up to the Commission to decide what they do with PG&E's concession and whether or not they will include an analog option, and whether or not that will apply to utilities statewide. It is likely however that the Commission will agree to include an analog option.  Links to PG&E's Reply Comments are available:  http://emfsafetynetwork.org/?p=6784 

 

If you have not already done so, please submit your Smart Meter complaints to SmartMeterHelp.com  This new website is a joint project of EMF Safety Network and Stop Smart Meters. 

 

Thanks to everyone, this is a one positive step towards restoring analog meters!
