Choose A Safe Analog Meter - Protect Your Analog Meter
Do you still have your old analog meter? As an Opt Out customer, SCE will come out and install orange stickers on your old meter.
If you have not opted out and have also refused to pay the extortion penalties you may want to take whatever measures you can to lawfully deter SCE from changing out your meter. If you prevent SCE from installing a Smart Meter (i.e., denying access to the property or blocking access to the analog meter) they will consider you opt-out customer and charge you fees accordingly. Or they will wait until you are not home and attempt an installation. Do not allow SCE to replace your analog meter. Most likely there is NOTHING wrong with it. However, SCE would like to replace it with a Landis & Gyr type MX electromechanical meter. Unfortunately, this meter can be easily retrofitted into a wireless transmitting data collector (AMR meter) using an ERT antenna. We call it a Trojan Horse Meter and it is NOT the type of meter you had previously. |
