In Florida the utility must offer a single point of service for a property
or contiguous properties owned by a single entity, even if broken by a road
or other easement. If the properties are not contiguous, the utility can
require separate meters, but you'd have a hard time maintaining electrical
It's the consumer's right to have one point of metering and distribute the
power to their loads. I would not ask the utility, I would tell them I was
rewiring and wanted to have only one metering point. It's stupid to pay for
all those meters. Most customers don't realize there is a cost to having
Thanks all! To clarify, we're only looking at consolidating meters for the
common area loads, not the individual residences. The dwellings all have
their own PSE accounts and will stay on their residential rate. The
common area meter tariffs already have demand changes, in some case up to
Andrew,
We did this in upstate NY for a housing coop with 12 meters, on two
separate transformers. Our utility put them on a demand meter immediately
even though the demand was never that high. Seems like others have already
warned you to look into that. Another snag was that in NY it required a
Good point Jeff, HOA could all of a sudden be a commercial demand
account. I think you have to wait for PSEG to tell you what they
allow. Every situation seems unique, so it is difficult to say what is
typical. They may be served by multiple service points. PSEG has that
information. I

some of our territories, 2000 kWh/month or 15 minutes over 10 kW usage can
push an account into a demand account.

Thanks fellas. Todd, these meters are already on a single account but NJ's
remote net metering law only covers public entities .
Chris, all meters are owned by the same entity (the HOA). We have a call
into the utility (PSE). We do not have experience in this area so any
advice you may have
I used to work for a utility and it is utility dependent. The key I
think is whether all the submetering customers are actually owned by the
same entity. For example, a commercial complex may have several
building on site, each submetered. The whole complex could be master
metered at the
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
