The San Jose Mercury News reports utility officials say they are creating the temporary delay list to avoid ongoing friction with SmartMeter opponents who fear the wireless technology poses a health risk.
Last month, PG&&E proposed to the California Public Utilities Commission to offer customers a choice to opt-out of a SmartMeter for a monthly fee.
The temporary list is meant to address SmartMeter concerns until the commission makes its decision.
To get on the temporary delay list for SmartMeter installations, call PG&E at 877-743-7378.
