my bill went $80 to $450. Power company 'checked' the meter 3 times. Got the public service commission involved, they determined that the multiplier was programmed with a 5x multiplier.

Same exact thing for me. Xcel is horrible and I had to report them to Colorado state. Now my bill went from 6x to 2x. Still horrible but at least it’s not 5 times the price…. Fucking monopoly.

it's way more likely that his old meter was wrong and the new one fixed the problem.

We have 32 solar panels. We had no electric bills. They came out and switched the meters. Now we have large electric bills. I asked them they said oh well.

EXCEL should not be doing their own testing on their own Over Charging.
The meter has internal programming that can be set to read at 5x or 10x usage ... independent test of the meter is needed

we had a friend that had a high bill and they told her that the meters are only accurate within 20% but I'm sure it's never 20% in our favor

I work for a local Co-Op. we are consumer owned and thus will never install Smart meters. They are inherently anti-consumer. They'll tell you you'll be and to monitor your electric usage and use it

look at the meter number on the bill and match it to the meter. the company installing these messes up all the time I had my neighbors meter billing to me for 3-4 months.
