Congressman Van Drew has called on Atlantic City Electric to halt all shut-off notices for customers facing difficulties paying their bills due to unexpected increases following the installation of smart meters. Many long-time, timely bill payers are now experiencing significant spikes in their utility costs without clear explanations.

"People are having a tough time because of these sudden and massive increases in their bills," said Congressman Van Drew. "It is only fair that AC Electric stops these shut-offs until their new billing system and smart meters are audited and thoroughly investigated. Customers deserve transparency and fairness immediately."
