Naperville renews contract despite moratoriums in other communities |
The Naperville City council reminded citizens that they made the decision to deploy 57,000 wireless smart meters long before current discussions with the public had taken place. On November 1st, the council voted to renew the contract with West Monroe Partners (WMP), the technical advisors to the smart meter deployment. The amount awarded was $1.45 million. WMP has no previous smart meter deployment experience.
The decision was once again met with opposition as members of the community spoke out about their concerns with the renewal of this contract and the entire smart meter project.
"In the Illinois Public Utilities Act, Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act and the Energy Act of 2005 there is nothing that states this is a mandatory program. According to these documents, this is an opt-in program. The way it is being marketed is as a mandated project. That is misleading to the public," stated Bendis.

The Truth About Smart Meters
Thursday, November 10, 2011 Ashbury Clubhouse, 3403 Lawrence Dr 7-9 pm |
Join us for another community conversation on the smart meter debate in Naperville.
Naperville Smart Meter Awareness has been accused of disseminating misinformation regarding the risks of smart meters.
Yet almost 30% of states in the US have groups that are actively opposing their deployment for reasons of privacy, security, health and lack of ROI. Investigations have begun on smart meters. Analog meters arebeing restored due to health complaints and utility officials are coming clean about RF transmissions. Reports show the lack of ROI and customer benefits.
Join us for the facts, unbiased by industry experts that are driven by financial gain.
Find out how this technology works and why it is dangerous. We will discuss the costs of this project and its impact on residents, cyber security concerns and why its about more than just your electricity usage, privacy concerns and the health impacts.
