Pedernales Electric Co-Op is an unregulated Central Texas electricity utility, and the largest rural electric utility co-op in the United States, covering twenty-four Texas counties.

Effective August 1st, 2025, it will have possibly the most repressive punitive monthly smart meter opt-out fee in the entire United States, if not, the entire World.

Fees potentially exceed $270 per month according to their current tariff schedule.

Details: $30 per month per meter, $3.50 per mile, and another $32.50 per month fee. At 30 miles each way, fees exceed $270 per month. One-time meter exchange fee of $200.

Any assistance in getting this message out is greatly appreciated.

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

Very informative but what can we do if an electric company stalls allowing someone to opt out? It is the law in Ohio but when you try to file a complaint against the electric company for blocking the removal of the meter, the PUCO refuses to go against the electric company.

]]> Comment on Returning Unwanted Equipment… by Dr. Susan Carkin https://stopsmartmeters.org/2011/12/08/the-great-smart-meter-return/#comment-1243731 Sat, 26 Apr 2025 07:06:52 +0000 https://stopsmartmeters.org/?p=3007#comment-1243731 Eugene Water & Electric Board is dictating that there will be no exceptions to smart meters; no keeping old analog meters. One senior citizen who has extreme sensitivity to EMFs refused to allow a smart meter installation, and EWEB cut off her electricity. There seems to be no recourse here. Until this week in April 2025, the smart meters installed were allowed an “opt out” option, where they supposedly did not transmit information to the public utility. However, EWEB just notified residents that opting out was a choice that required a manual meter reading and they were proposing a $150 start-up fee followed by an additional $20/month. EWEB has more in common with Black Rock than a public utility operated for the benefit of citizens.
