Act NOW to support H.3551 in the MA Legislature

Utility companies right now are replacing electric meters across the Commonwealth with “smart” meters. You may have received a form letter from your utility company announcing this program as a way for consumers to have more knowledge about our personal use of electricity.

What they don’t tell you is:

• Smart meters give utility companies detailed information about your personal use of electricity, posing a privacy risk.
• Smart meters pose significant health risks to humans, especially to children, and to the environment.  
• If you can choose an alternative metering form, you will pay extra, possibly $300 – $400 per year.

Bill H.3551 will preserve your right to opt out of having a smart meter on your home with no additional cost. But you need to act now—before March 18—to tell the MA Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy to report favorably on this bill.
