My opinion is your shouldn’t be worried about the smart meter. It’s the next step after the smart meter. Fort Collins started with smart meter, then tiered rates, then the latest and greatest 2 years ago was point of time use. 2-7 in the summer and 5-9 in the winter it’s something ridiculous like 7x more than non peak hours. And they keep making the gap larger. But hey at least they came and tore up everyone’s yard to put city owned and ran internet in, why wouldn’t you want the city to control media that your taxes and electrical bill paid for, it’s only slightly more expensive than Comcast.
