COALITION TO STOP SMART METERS QUESTIONS FIRE CHIEF’S REPORT ON SMART METER SAFETY.
Last week Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis and Dr. Joseph Clare, strategic planning analyst for the Surrey Fire Service, released a 7 page report substantiating BC Hydro’s claim that smart meters do not pose a fire hazard. This report was commissioned by BC Hydro. It was written to address a rash of suspicious fires reported all over the province, most recently in Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Comox, Mission, Coquitlam and Sparwood. These fires occurred shortly after smart meters had been installed.
The authors of the report claim statistics from the Provincial Fire Commissioner’s office support their conclusion that there is no fire hazard.
Sharon Noble, Director of the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, questions the accuracy of this claim.
“The Fire Commissioner’s office is not able to track smart meter caused fires because there is no code for smart meters.” Noble received an email from The Fire Reporting Systems Officer, Emergency Management British Columbia, saying “there is not an applicable fire code to attach to a smart meter related fire.”
In April, the Coalition circulated a study to every fire chief summarizing fires reported all over the US associated with smart meters. Reports in every jurisdiction identified 2 consistent factors contributing to these fires, both of which exist in BC:
1) Meters are being installed by inexperienced, unqualified persons after having received only 10 days of training. Normally only certified electricians work on electrical meters.
2) According to a number of electrical experts, the meters themselves are inherently dangerous. Components of Smart Meters trip Ground Fault Interrupters and Arc Fault Interrupters, creating a fire hazard. Also, typical home wiring (60 Hz) is not constructed or intended to carry high frequency surges that smart meters produce to signal the usage data to Hydro.
The Coalition calls for a moratorium on installations until there is an independent investigation of the smart meters, one done by experts in electrical engineering who have no affiliation with any agency or company that benefit from this program. -

Here is a message received on January 28, 2013, from Gordon Hogg's office, Liberal MLA and Caucus Chair.
"I hope this will help to clarify the confusion regarding the refusal of a smart meter.
Last Wednesday, Minister Coleman advised Gordon that individual home owners, who had NOT YET had a smart meter installed on their home, would not have to have one. BC Hydro may be contacting those "hold outs" one last time, and if you say "no" and do not consent - that is the end of it. You will not be "forced" into having one or be in fear of it being installed when you are not home.
We are still seeking clarification with respect to strata units and multi family buildings as these present a bigger challenge as some may or may not have been installed in the building or complex.
For those home owners who have had a smart meter installed and have an existing medical condition, we are suggesting that they contact BC Hydro smartmeters@bchydro.com (cc to Honorouable Rich Coleman ) and ask that consideration be given to have their smart meter removed. They may also want to copy their MLA on the request.
I hope this provides you with some clarity. Please do not hesitate to contact our office should you have any further questions or concerns or if you continue to have BC Hydro or Corix calling you or coming to your door. -

- 时间: 2013-1-31 11:35卑诗水电局对安装智能电表态度出现软化
随著省选在即,加上在野新民主党高分贝施压,卑诗水电局(BC Hydro)一改先前对於安装智能电表的强硬立场,已出现软化态度。省府主管官员也表示,若未得到住户同意,不会强制执行安装新电表。
卑诗水电局周二发布一份简短声明,称「卑诗水电局在智能电表的立场不变,那就是,若未得到住户同意,水电局不会强装新电表」。
主管该事务的卑省能源厅长高利民(Rich Coleman)也在推特呼应。高利民说,水电局人员将协助向顾客说明智能电表的好处,但与此同时,若没有得到同意,不会强装电表。 iask.ca
水电局最新的立场说明显然与先前的强硬姿态大不相同。本月初水电局向尚未装设智能电表的住户发出一封信,声称∶「我们不会再拖延在您住家安装新电表的时间。」
水电局发言人韦修尔(Cindy Verschoor)日前也曾向维市的殖民时报表示,针对还没有装智能电表的用户,最近派出的电表安装员将不理会用户拒装电表的留言或标语,如果人不在家,就迳行强制安装。
但是自由党省议员何定国(Gordon Hogg)上周发布一份声明,称没有人会强制安装智能电表。这份和水电局立场迥异的声明,让外界更加混淆。
卑诗新民主党能源评论员贺谨(John Horgan)指出,公众有权要求省营的水电局或省府,对智能电表有一个直接、明白的说法。 移民网,findjiayuan.com
贺谨不满地指出,水电用户一下子收到强制装电表的「威胁信」,过一下子省府官员又说,须有住户同意才会安装新能电表,前後立场矛盾,令人一头雾水。
对於水电局改变立场和高利民的态度软化,贺谨反批这应该是自由党省府希望5月省选之前,要求水电局不要触碰具有争议性的智能电表问题。
据水电局表示,到目前已有93%用户完成改装智能电表,但仍有约8万5000户尚未装设。
反对安装新电表的人士指称,智能电表可能对人体的健康、安全有威胁,及过度干涉隐私。

- 时间: 2013-7-13 07:07卑诗省府终於松口,表示不会强迫不愿意安装卑诗水电局智能电表的用户,但这批人士将来可能须额外付费。
省能源厅长贝耐德(Bill Bennett)11日表示,目前全省96%用户已装设新型的无线智能电表,这些遵行省府全面更新电表政策的用户,不应该为另外4%的人,支付重新组装非智能型电表的额外开销。目前省府尚未制订出一套非智能电表的安装收费标准。
卑省推行全省改装智能电表计画,但遇上部分电力用户强烈反对,有人担忧无线系统导致隐私外 ,也有人以新科技电表可能散发幅射威胁健康为由,坚拒安装。
省府和卑诗水电局原本坚称所有用户须完成装设新型电表,但今年1月水电局已改口称,若未得到用户许可,不会强制安装。
当初省府斥资10亿元要在全省推行高科技的智能电表全面更新计画,预估装设180万个新电表,截至目前,仍有约6万户还没有完成改装,其中有不少人坚拒安装智能电表。
为了避免公权力和部分省民的个人权益出摩擦,省府终於明确表示,尊重不愿安装智能电表省民的选择,不会强制执行。

- 时间: 2013-7-19 06:40Smart-meter opponents can keep old readers
Hydro: B.C. residents who choose to opt out of the conversion OK to do so, but will be subject to new fees
British Columbians opposed to hydro smart meters will be allowed to opt out of the conversion after all, but it will cost them.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Thursday that the 60,000 people, or about four per cent of the population, who refused to have the smart meters
installed in their homes because of concerns about possible dangers of high-frequency radio waves can choose to keep their analog readers or have the radio transmitter turned off on their smart meter.
In both, cases there will be monthly fees to read the meters and a onetime installation fee to modify the smart meter to disable the radio frequency.
The fees are subject to review by the B.C. Utilities Commission and haven't been set yet, said ministry spokesman Jake Jacobs.
But a spokeswoman for an antismart meter group called it blackmail.
"It's really coercive," said Una St. Clair of the Citizens for Safe Technology Society. "I will put a smart meter on your home unless you pay
me not to. It's just a ploy to get the remaining smart meters rolled out."
St. Clair, who said she suffers from "electro-sensitivity" that causes her constant headaches and migraines, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, digestive disorders and sleep disturbances, said she's being forced to move to a 40-hectare acreage outside of Metro Vancouver to escape the radio waves from her neighbours' homes.
Bennet t said he made the announcement in response to public concerns about the radio waves, which transmit data to B.C. Hydro computers.
St. Clair said her group is launching a class-action lawsuit against the B.C. government and B.C. Hydro next week.

卑诗省府耗费巨资全面换装「智能电表」(Smart meter),但部分人士因健康疑虑抗拒。省府18日宣布,不愿安装者可退出该计画,选择将智能电表的短波发射功能关闭或保留旧式电表,但每月须支付额外抄表费用。金额由卑诗水电局(BC Hydro)根据实际成本制订,并交公共事业委员会审查。
卑诗省府两年来斥资10亿元为省内家庭全面换装「智能电表」,目前约有96%用户已完成安装,但约4%用户强烈反对,他们有的是担心电表内的无线短波发射系统会导致隐私外 ,也人则认为电表散发的幅射会威胁健康。
省府和卑诗水电局原坚称所有用户均须安装新型电表,但年初突然改口表示不会强制安装。18日折衷方案出炉,省府给目前尚未安装智能电表的用户三个选项∶
一、免费安装标准型智能电表
二、安装数位式(digital)电表,但支付一次费用将电表的短波发射功能关闭,外加以後每个月抄表费用。
三、保留旧有类比式(analog)电表,但需负担未来每个月抄表费用,及维持双轨系统所增加的成本。
省能源厅长贝耐德(Bill Bennett)18日表示,这项折衷方案让正反双方取得平衡点,不仅回应那些对智能电表计画有疑虑者的关注,也确保已安装智能电表的绝大多数用户,不会因为有人选择退出而承担额外费用。
他重申不会强迫用户安装智能电表,而这个折衷计画对所有省民而言是公平、合理的解决方案。

- 时间: 2013-7-30 09:12卑诗水电局实施智能电表计画,引发部分用户不满,现已掀起一宗集体诉讼官司。(Global TV)
戴维丝(Nomi Davis)成为智能电表惹风波之後,第一位掀起集体诉讼官司的提告人。据她指称,水电局人员未得到她的许可,就擅自於2012年8月到她家安装智能电表。
反对省府和水电局强装新型智能电表的「市民支持安全科技协会」(Citizens for Safe Technology Society,CST)和「终止智能电表联盟」(Coalition to Stop Smart Meters),都支持戴维斯打这场官司。
CST成员沙托(Steve Satow)26日表示,集体诉讼案於25日正式递呈法院,如果有民众遭卑诗水电局强装智能电表,或用户被威胁切断电源,都有可能符合加入集体诉讼的行列,为自己争取公道。
该组织执行主任圣克莱儿(Una St.Clair)指出,集体诉讼要求庭上下令卑诗水电局移除用户不想安装的智能电表,以及永久禁制水电局对选择不装智能电表的居民强徵额外费用。
圣克莱儿说,如果有人希望加入诉讼案或支持这项行动,可登录:www.citizensforsafetechnology.org。
据戴维丝的代表律师表示,卑诗水电局收到法庭行文後,约须於21天内提呈被告方陈述,然後原告会向庭上要求裁定集体诉讼成案。
目前约有6万名卑诗省民抗拒家中被安装智能电表

- 时间: 2013-9-01 06:51Smart Meter Class Action Lawsuit Against BC Hydro
spacer (1K)
If you have a smart meter and don't want it, if you have an analogue and want to keep it, if you don't want to be charged an extortion fee to keep the meter of your choice, you are eligible to participate in the Smart Meter Class Action Lawsuit. This lawsuit filed against BC Hydro aims to protect the democratic right of each and every person to opt out of the smart meter/smart grid program without any additional fees or charges. In fact, as BC Hydro is including the cost of the smart grid program in their billings, their attempts to charge a fee for people who refuse to participate amounts to double billing, and should be rectified by the issuance of a BC Hydro rebate cheque which returns to the resident the savings realized by refusing the smart meter.
Download the Class Action form, fill it in, then send by regular mail to the address at the bottom of the form along with your donation to cover legal fees. We have already been winning opt out choices for people most notably from our legal intervention and expert testimony at the Fortis Smart Grid Hearing. Let's continue our winning streak and all join together insisting on democratic choice for each and every person, free of any charges for that right. -
- 时间: 2013-10-14 08:27卑诗水电局(BC Hydro)的内部文件显示,由於实施新计画用户可以选择拒绝安装智能电表,水电局的成本大增,在计画实施的第一年将会最少增加700多万元开支。
水电局上月公布,凡拒绝安装智能电表的用户,需一次性缴费100元,同时,每个月需额外支付20元人手抄表费用。
增加700多万元成本开支,是估计有1万多个家庭撰择不安装智能电表计算得来,当中已包括收取20元抄表费在内。水电局估计,若是拒绝安装智能电表的用户愈多,则成本开支更会进一步上升。若有2万个家庭继续使用传统电表,成本及营运资金更会超过1200万元。
根据水电局提交给公用事业委员会的文件显示,维持人手抄表的成本,平均每两个月为170万元;另外在更换电表、改变电脑软件等都会增加支出。
卑诗是在2011年开始安装智能电表计画,整个计画耗资10亿元,到目前为止已安装了190万个智能电表。
尽管反对这个计画的用户不绝於耳,但水电局在公用事业委员会上仍然坚持这个计画可以节省开支。
由於成本增加,水电局打算把原先的20元抄表费增至35元,但拒绝安装的一次性缴费则调低至65元,最後数费多少仍待卑诗公用事业委员会决定,而水电局希望在12月2日前有定案。
不过反对智能电表计画的组织 StopSmartMeters.ca的负责人史密斯(Jim Smith)声言,即使公用事业委员会通过收取费用,但相信会有数千个反对智能电表的家庭不会缴费。
