Arizona Public Service Co. is proposing to charge $30 a month to customers who do not like their digital electricity meters and prefer to have an older, analog meter installed on their home.

APS also proposes charging those customers $75 to sign up for the special treatment, if regulators approve the new rate.

The company developed the new plan in response to a small but vocal group of customers who say the digital meters disrupt their sleep and cause other health or privacy concerns.
