<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>Thanks fellas. Todd, these meters are already on a single account but NJ's remote net metering law only covers public entities \U0001f620.</div><div><br></div><div>Chris, all meters are owned by the same entity (the HOA). We have a call into the utility (PSE&G). We do not have experience in this area so any advice you may have on how to be successful in this endeavour based on your time on the other side of the curtain would be appreciated. Would an entity like this (a community with ~200 homes) typically be served by a single transformer or multiple? If a single then the simplest / most attainable solution would be to re-route the 15 meter circuits to a pad-mounted panelboard / main meter on the secondary side of the transformer, right?</div><div

<p>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 service delivery point. If so,
master metering will save in several ways, most notably the
monthly charge, but demand charges and possibly a reduction in the
energy charge depending upon the tariff can also occur. The
utility should be able to run the analysis for you. I would
request from the utility the details on master metering at the
location. This will quickly get you into their domain/processes.
Unless you have experience in this area, it can be difficult to
calculate the cost/benefit. Chris</p>

<div>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. </div>
