The conference is targeted for leaders at regional utilities who want to learn more about developing and implementing demand response. This symposium will also include the participation of the Pacific Northwest Demand Response Project, which since 2005 has been the primary forum for researchers, regulators, and utilities to share information, build best practices, and overcome barriers to demand response in the Northwest. To help make this a reality Smart Grid Northwest is hosting the Demand Response Symposium, in collaboration with the Council, the Bonneville Power Administration, regional utilities, demand response providers, and other stakeholders. The Council recommends that at least 600 megawatts should be developed to meet the region’s peaking and system adequacy needs. * The Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Seventh Power Plan found that demand response, which reduces peak demand, shifts loads, and can complement supply side resources, is the least-cost solution for providing new peaking capacity. Put the existing funds for this destructive ami- "smart" metering program towards better ventures that add to quality of living, rather than jeopardizing it. I/we would rather you offer an active "opt-in" option (for those customers who see value in this program), after informing them about ALL the facts about the ami meters, that is, including their track record of fires, deaths, rising costs for many, surveillance capabilities, health hazards. A disrupted immune system is vulnerable to diseases. Depending upon an individual's sensitivity, this can be immediate and for others, it wreaks havoc on the immune function over time.

Latest update on smart meters in Seattle from Safe Utility Meters Alliance (SUMA) NW. Health: The constant, increasing, overlapping bombardment of electromagnetic frequencies - although short in duration, would be continuous, from over 90, 000 to 190, 000 pulses throughout a day. Privacy: I am very concerned about the two-way capability of this technology, illustrated by such quotes from former head of espionage agency, General Petraeus, literally bragging about being able to "spy on you through your dishwasher". Cost: We have been told of cost savings, however in a majority of districts where this program has been imposed, costs have risen and will continue to do so, to cover the costs of these inferior meters. We have not heard of any analog meters causing fires. At the Seattle City Council meetings, attended by members and representatives of Seattle City Light, these concerns were/are summarily dismissed, despite actual documentation. Safety: There already exists numerous documented reports of malfunctions leading to explosions and fires. Over 530 letters/emails sent to SCL and SCC during public comment period. * Letter writing campaign on short notice with a small window at the end of August. I/We are opposed to the AMI/"smart" meter imposition, on four points of contention: Safety, cost, privacy and health. ![]()
