BACK IN OCTOBER PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC & GAS INSTALLED A SMART METER ON MY HOUSE AGAINST MY WILL AND THEY REFUSE TO REMOVE IT. THEY SAID IT IS NOT A SMART METER BUT A DIGITAL METER. HOWEVER SMART METERS ARE DIGITAL UTILITY METERS. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE AND THE BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES ARE ALL CORRUPT AND COMPLICIT WITH THEM. THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION REFUSES TO BANN THESE DEADLY METERS. THE MEDIA IS ALSO CORRUPT FOR NOT EXPOSING THIS CORRUPTION. I NEED HELP !

Comment on Ohio Utility Commission Rules Against Three Women Who Can’t Afford Smart Meter “Opt- Out” Fees by Patricia Bender

There is an attempt from Duke to attempt to make money on a loss they inccurred when the company that originally used defective meter and went bankrupt.
I know I was improperly billed fir my electric fir last 7 years. And Duke uses excuse that don’t have records past 2 years ago. They have recods and just don’t want to research, as well as PUCO didn’t want to research either.
And why did PUCO give DUKE approval for higher delivery charges starting in July??
These woman won’t b able to afford that either.
Also Duke is not telling customers they are charging high peak hour chargee betw 9am and 2pm. The reason they say they are doing this is because we didn’t have a really cold winter so they didn’t make a high enough profit margin..
This feels very communistic

Comment on FAQ: Billing Issues by sharon J.

I am totally frustrated. In 2006 moved to a rental, when electric was turned on a smart meter was installed. Had mechanical meter at previous dwelling. When first moved in did not have cook stove, water heater or well pump. Within six months acquired and installed these appliances all the rest of my appliances I had at previous rental. Started out with a very small garden and by third year had the largest garden I would ever have at this place. There was NO central heating and air, used wood stove and fans for heat in winter and open windows and fans for cooling in summer and this never changed. Actually, by year two all electricity using items were in place, oh by the way I do a lot of canning June thru’ September, also butcher, make cheese, etc.

By year three I noticed that every electric bill stated that I used more electric this month than I had used this month last year. I found it odd as I am very routine in my activities, but didn’t pay much attention as was only a few cents difference and I was busy with other things.

However, in 2011, year 5, I did not have a garden period. Ergo, no canning from June to September and yet according to the power company, I used more electricity this month than I had used this month last year. How Absurd!! By 2013 I decided that I needed to keep track of my electric consumption for myself. Ran into problems immediately as LCD display didn’t always display and I wasn’t able to always read meter when needed to. I did determine that what the usage on the meter said is what the power company bill said also.

Anyhooo, gave up that project until I received the December bill for 2014. I popped me cork when I got a bill for$120 when my bill normally ran $70. By this time I had learned that I could get a hourly, daily readout of my electric usage so I went and got one for December 2014. Come to find out the electric company said that I had used double and triple my daily usage from December 21 thru’ the 26. OK, OK think Christmas lights, Christmas parties, Christmas baking, Christmas dinner, Christmas late nights wrapping presents and listening to music watching Christmas tree light blinking. Sounds about right don’t it? There’s only on problem with this……

I DON’T CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM!!!

I took the readout down to the power company and asked for an explanation as to why my electric usage was so much greater over a holiday that I didn’t celebrate. The response was “if the power company says you used it, then you used it”. Oh WOW that really explained things, it also Burned My Beans!!

I went home and developed a spreadsheet hourly, daily log that corresponded exactly to their hourly daily log. I and my husband at the time wrote the time down in the correct hour block every time we turned something on or off even if it was just a few minutes. Eventually, I even wrote the temperature of the stove eyes and oven, whether I used a hot or cold clothes wash, etc… I also started pulling a 60 day daily log from the power company every month when I paid the bill.

It amazes me how little correlation there is between their log and my log! There are also totally wrong usages such as in January 2018 had a really cold snap for two weeks. Of course, my usage doubled and tripled again despite the fact that I still had only wood heat. Another interesting event that would happen is that in the wee hours of the morning while I was in my bed sleeping and all daytime/nighttime lights and appliances turned off, Golly Gee Whiz anytime between 0100 and 0400, random hours and random days I would use, according to the power company, up to 2KW in that one wee morning hour.

Another thing of interest to me was that as SOON as I started pulling their daily logs, I no longer was using more electricity this month than I did this month last year. Astonishing!! If fact my electricity usage actually decreased a tiny bit!! The power company man congratulated me on my electric conservation efforts. Imagine that! I did not change one iota of usage in my lifestyle.

This is my speculation. If the company can read your meter from the central office (co), can check the line for trouble from the co, can turn your meter on or off from the co, then there has to be software in that smart meter. AAAAAAND, if there is software/programing in that smart meter than programing can be written to advance, retard or incrementally change the amount of usage on that meter.

This would be fraud and I have six years of hourly, daily data to prove this and can’t find a lawyer or even a government official who is interested in pursuing this fraud. My power company is a corporation in Virginia that operates in Virginia and Tennessee. I dwell in Tennessee.

If there is anyone who knows of a competent lawyer who even might be interested in this type of case, they can respond to:
