• The Ban Texas Smart Meters group is set to protest CPS Energy’s installation of smart meters.
• The utility has already installed about 40,000 smart meters in Texas as a part of a pilot program which allows customers to track their energy usage online.
• Protestors claim however that “consumers never had a right to choose” whether they wanted the smart meters, and that they had to pay added fees for meters installed by utility companies based in other cities.
