Metering Specifications
The safety and reliability of your electricity is our main priority. We have guidelines and requirements for metering equipment that must be followed before we will energize your project. Customers and their electricians or contractors are responsible for understanding these requirements and following them prior to having their project energized.
We have the right to refuse to energize any part of a project that does not follow these requirements. When you do not follow the requirements, we are not responsible for the cost of repairs, or delays in energizing the system. Please refer to the Meter Specifications document for more information on metering requirements.
