DECISION DISMISSING COMPLAINT

Summary

We dismiss the complaint of Wilner & Associates (Wilner) as moot. The thrust of Wilner's complaint is that Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) radiation emitted by so-called "smart meters" is a health risk to customers at whose residences the smart meters are installed. In Decision (D.) 12-02-014, issued February 9, 2012, the Commission ordered Pacific Gas and Electric Company to provide an analog meter in place of a smart meter to any customer on request at a one-time cost of $75 plus a monthly fee of $10. D.12-02-014 effectively provides complete relief to any customer concerned about the effects of EMF radiation and renders further proceedings in this docket moot.
