Do we have to accept this change of meter?
According to the CWaPE (the Walloon Energy Commission), “you cannot oppose the installation of a smart meter, nor request its removal except for electrosensitive people.“
And no medical document is required to certify your electrosensitivity. Declaring it is enough.
However, in some cases, even for electrosensitive people, the supplier has no choice but to install a smart meter, because they no longer have a mechanical meter, for example. In this case, the customer has the right to refuse the communicating function and the supplier will be obliged to deactivate the function. According to the information we obtained from the office of the Walloon Minister of Energy, every customer has the right to refuse this communicating function, including people who are not electrosensitive.
A government decree is also being analyzed so that the customer can disconnect this communicating function when he wishes.
Which is not necessarily an advantage, as explained here.
