Yes, many in my neighborhood that have been getting new electric meters are saying their bills have skyrocketed by hundreds of dollars when they were installed without their knowledge/permission. The techs just show up and replace the meters. When people call to complain about the amount of their bills, they are told that it’s because their old meters weren’t working correctly and the new ones are, and that’s what their bills are supposed to be. I’m waiting for the day they do this to ours, hoping they forget about ours.
