It's early in the morning and I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this news article in Galveston County Daily News:
A 34,000 League City residences are getting "smart" electrical meters for which we will each be forced to pay FOUR HUNDRED NINETY DOLLARS?!
Not only that, it apparently might happen for us in Centerpointe quite quickly. Here's an excerpt from the installation schedule in the article cited above:
Oct. 10-14 — south of FM 518, east of Calder Road, west of Interuban St., North of Link Road.
That sounds suspiciously like us.
The article states that affected residents will receive a postcard notifying of the change. I never got a post card. I just re-checked my mail stack, and there's nothing.
It concerns me that we get no say in this matter even though we are the ones paying for it. And the cost seems ridiculously high: my husband and I installed a TED energy monitor in our house about a year ago. It provides much more finely-tuned measurements than what the GCDN article mentions, at a fraction of that cost!
I have to dash to work right now, so cannot research this further. If anyone has additional insight, please contact me.
