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><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_-4913392022043861876gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:ArialMT,serif,EmojiFont;color:rgb(64,64,64)">Regards, </span><br></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:ArialMT,serif,EmojiFont;color:rgb(64,64,64)"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-spacing:0px;border-collapse:collapse;color:rgb(68,68,68);width:400px;font-size:9pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:normal"><tbody><tr><td style="padding:0px 0px 6px;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(23,147,206);width:259px"><font face="Tahoma, sans-serif">Andrew Truitt</font><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:9pt;border-spacing:0px;border-collapse:collapse;width:400px;line-height:normal"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" width="400" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;padding:0px;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(44,44,44);width:400px"><div style="color:rgb(136,136,136);font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68)"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">www.dr.ventures</span></span></div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px;color:rgb(68,68,68)"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">d: 202.486.7507</span></span><span style="font-family:Tahoma,sans-serif"><br></span></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" width="400" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;padding:0px;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(44,44,44);width:400px"><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji;font-size:16px;margin:0px"><br></div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji,"Segoe UI Symbol","Android Emoji",EmojiSymbols,Helvetica,EmojiFont,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji",NotoColorEmoji;font-size:16px;margin:0px"><div style="margin:0px"><span style="color:rgb(153,153,153);font-family:Arial,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont;font-size:10pt">NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional ID: 032407-66</span><br></div><div style="margin:0px"><div style="margin:0px"><div style="margin:0px"><font face="Arial,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="1" color="#500050"><span style="font-size:12.78px"><font face="Arial,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="2" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:10pt">Colorado Journeyman Electrician License No.: 600132</span></font></span></font></div><div style="margin:0px"><font face="Arial,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="1" color="#500050"><span style="font-size:12.78px"><font face="Arial,sans-serif,serif,EmojiFont" size="2" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:10pt"><br></span></font></span></font></div></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></span></td><td style="padding:0px 0px 6px;width:141px;text-align:right"><img border="0" alt="Logo" src="https://s8.postimg.cc/vbfqwedet/DRV_-_1920.png" width="200" height="83" class="gmail-m_-4913392022043861876gmail-CToWUd" style="border: 0px;
