Encore des problèmes de déploiement de compteurs intelligents en Californie. In another setback for smart meters in California, Santa Cruz County supervisors approved a moratorium on PG&E smart meter installations in parts of the county until the end of the year, the San Jose Mercury News reports.  Supervisor John Leopold said the additional time will allow the county to investigate health and safety issues raised in recent months. The communities of Watsonville and Fairfax have taken similar steps. Meanwhile, the same source is reporting that consumers are complaining that household electronic devices such as baby monitors and alarm systems are behaving erratically due to smart meter interference. All of this comes just days after an independent evaluation of PG&E smart meters commissioned by the California PUC deemed them accurate, but chided the utility for inadequate customer service during rollouts last year. Quick take: As the pile-on in California continues, finding ways to respond to the many and varied consumer complaints effectively is going to provide learning moments for the entire industry
