Tell Dominion to restore power to those who refused “smart” meters
Since November 9th, a number of Virginia families have been without electrical power after Dominion Energy came to their homes and cut their power with little or no notice despite freezing temperatures. These customers were targeted by Dominion because each had swapped out their ‘smart’ meters for analog meters after receiving the ‘smart’ meter months ago without any warning and against their will.
Other families who had also reinstalled analog meters were told by Dominion to either allow reinstallation their ‘smart’ meters or lose power. Threatened with the loss of power, they reluctantly agreed to have a ‘smart’ meter installed.
These customers had removed the ‘smart’ meters from their homes and reinstalled analog meters because they are suffering from life-altering health effects from the pulsed wireless radio frequency radiation (RFR) emitted by the ‘smart’ meters. Several had submitted medical exemptions to Dominion because of their sensitivity to this type of radiation. Dominion should have allowed them to retain their non-radiation emitting analog meters but refused to do so.
The affected families include those with children or elderly family members. Research shows that exposure to RF radiation can cause headaches, persistent nosebleeds, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, sleep disruption, ADHD symptoms, weakened immune system and abnormal brain development. Children suffer the most from exposure to RF radiation from ‘smart’ meters because of their rapidly developing bodies, thinner skulls, and immature nervous systems.
Parents must be free to protect their children from this invisible toxin and an analog meter is a safer solution. If children can’t be safe in their own home, where can they be?
All Virginians need to be concerned because Dominion and other electric companies want full compliance with the ‘smart’ meter roll out plan, which officially began earlier this year in Virginia.
Many Virginians have already been targeted and have had their analog meters removed without their knowledge or consent, and now have a dangerous ‘smart’ meter instead. (Click here to see what a ‘smart’ meter looks like.)
The ‘smart’ meter roll out is expected to be completed by 2024.
Please take action today and demand that Dominion Energy immediately restore power to these customers.

Suggested talking points:
I am contacting you to express my extreme displeasure and disgust with Dominion Energy. It is wrong and immoral to cut power to families that have paid their bills especially at this time of year. Dominion should immediately restore power to these families and ensure they have power by Thanksgiving. I will be contacting my legislators to demand that Virginians’ right to protect their families be restored and that anyone who chooses to keep or reinstall their analog meter be allowed to do so.
Background:
The Virginia State Corporation Commission approved Dominion’s statewide ‘deployment’ in January of this year as part of the SCC Grid Transformation Plan, Case no. PUR-2021-00127, against the recommendations of some of their own staff employees. Even though this plan was previously denied twice for statewide installations, energy companies had already been deploying AMI ‘smart’ meters as pilot projects prior to their official approval by the SCC.
Dominion’s Landis & Gyr AMI ‘smart’ meters can emit radiation bursts up to 190,000 times a day that are far more powerful than wireless consumer devices, such as cell phones. ‘Smart’ meters also have a peak level emission two and a half times higher than the FCC’s RFR safety guideline limits, which were called into question by the DC Court of Appeals August 2021 ruling in the CHD/EHT et al v. FCC case. AMI ‘smart’ meters have never been fully tested to determine if they should even be considered “safe” for the general public. The SCC doesn’t require power companies to provide any health warnings to pregnant women, elderly, and children, who are most vulnerable to RFR adverse health effects, (such as ringing in the ears, leg cramps, balance problems, heart and eye issues, fatigue, headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and disorientation), nor to those that have medical electrical implants, where RFR interference can be lethal.”
These meters also create dirty electricity throughout the electrical wiring in our homes, which makes them non-FCC compliant (per Part 15B interference rules), raise customer’s bills approximately 10% due to the dirty electricity voltage transients on the line, leaves residents vulnerable to hackers, and are fire hazards due to insufficient electrical protection devices within the meter.
Many of the affected individuals had a smart meter installed against their will and without notice or informed consent. Most appealed to Dominion to have it removed and their analog meter put back. When denied by Dominion, they contracted privately to swap out the AMI ‘smart’ meter back to an analog. Dominion responded to these customers by showing up with law enforcement officers and multiple field crew to disconnect their power – even in homes with children present. Others who had an analog meter put on were forced to accept the reinstallation of an AMI ‘smart’ meter under the threat of losing power during weather that is now at or below freezing overnight.
Smart meters are high risk and high impact surveillance devices, fire hazards, and dangerous sources of non-ionizing RFR – what the World Health Organization now identifies as a Class 2B carcinogen.
