Analog meter choice bills are being considered by a number of US state legislatures this year, in response to a drumbeat of public complaints. These states include: Missouri, Michigan, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas.
For a list of existing smart meter policies throughout North America (courtesy of BC’s Coalition to Stop Smart Meters), click here. Please notify Sharon Noble of any updates.
Do not assume that just because your area does not have an official “opt out” policy, that people are not able to get service using analog meters. You have a legal right to refuse smart meter technology on your home and property.

In Michigan our Mpsc id saying they only do utilities rates, lies. They are guilty of breaking Michigan legislature laws mcl460.62 to protect public PEACE HEALTH AND SAFETY. Also mcl 750.539d Invasion of privacy. Other states would do well to check their stste legislature laws for laws ALREADY on the books.
I am having difficulties finding alternatives to smart meters in MT. Anyone know about this state? The electric company says smart meters are all they offer and I am not sure who to speak with in the company to debate this if possible? I am fine with buying my own electromechanical analog meter but they act like it will not work with their system
Maine……..Can not find an opt out option. Attempted to send customer service an opt out message for help but website kicks me out.
I am experiencing tinnitus and hearing loss and have opted out of the installation of the smart meter by eversource only to receive threats of further charges and service disruptions. I feel that this form of discrimination and threats to accept this unsafe technology is illegal and would like to know if there’s any class action suits against eversource for this practice
