Happy 4th Wrenches! Has anyone ever been through the process of consolidating utility electric meters for a client? We're talking to an HOA that has 15 meters throughout the community for common area loads (clubhouse, pool pump, lighting, fountain...) so they're paying a fixed monthly charge on each in addition to energy and demand charges. Consolidating to a single master meter (possibly with sub-metering) would likely lower their costs on its own, and (more importantly?) would improve the value proposition for a PV+ESS installation. We're not sure if the community is served by a single or multiple transformers yet, but if it is just one then the process should be straightforward from a technical standpoint. The interwebs tell me that some providers (seems like mostly co-ops) are open to this, but I can't find anything for this particular utility.
