According to an article in the Detroit News, utilities have until March 16 to provide the MPSC with information including their plans and costs associated with smart meter installations, scientific information regarding safety concerns, how customer data will be protected and whether customers are permitted to opt out of meter installations.
A DTE spokesman was quoted earlier as saying the company will not be working in Sterling Heights anytime soon, but has no plans to offer customers the opportunity to opt out. Sterling Heights is the latest, but certainly not the first, community to pass a moratorium.
Another company spokesman, John Austerberry, was more recently quoted as saying the meters are safe in terms of health and safety and privacy, and added "We also believe they provide significant benefits to the customer, but we will cooperate fully with the MPSC in their review."
