PECO Suspends Rollout

Peco suspends smart-meter installation after fire - Philadelphia Inquirer

Peco Energy Co. on Wednesday suspended its ambitious smart-meter installation program after 15 of the electrical devices overheated, including one that set fire to a home in Bucks County.

The utility, which has installed 186,000 devices since March, said it has temporarily halted the project to investigate the cause of the malfunctions.

"We want to make sure we understand exactly what is happening, since safety is our top concern," said Cathy Engel Menendez, the utility's spokeswoman.
