Meter Management
“I need to effectively manage our electricity meters — from installing new ones to closing out temporary or unneeded ones.”
With LEGACY’s Meter Management Service, you can.
The installation and energization of electric meters are the first steps in obtaining electricity service. But the management of this process can prove to be an unmitigated headache. This is most true in deregulated markets. Because of the difficulties of tracking and monitoring new installations and closeouts of unneeded meters, as well as the sourcing of competitive energy suppliers, conflicts often develop between property owners, builders, general contractors and utility companies.
LEGACY’s Meter Management Service streamlines the process of meter installation and eliminates many of the problems that are involved from the initial energizing of a project through the close-out of temporary or permanent meters.
LEGACY’s energy professionals possess in-depth expertise in working with both regulated and non-regulated electricity and natural gas providers. We understand the specifications defined by distribution companies and will analyze the requirements and schedules to effectively meet the energy needs of your project. We then negotiate with retail providers to optimize energy costs and monitor your energy consumption on an ongoing basis to ensure monthly bills are in accordance with agreed-upon terms and conditions.
Our Meter Management Service provides you with one source for all meter-related issues and support. As part of managing your project, our team of energy professionals will communicate with all stakeholders and provide recommendations and a timeline to ensure punctual execution of tasks. This approach reduces costs and increases the effectiveness of subcontractors and client personnel.
LEGACY’s Meter Management Service Includes:
- Arrangement of temporary power services
- Meter acquisition and monitoring
- Negotiation of optimized energy costs
- Coordination of permanent connections
- Transition of financial responsibility for permanent meter(s) from the general contractor to the facility owner
- Allocation of final billing
- Management of issues to minimize interruptions
- Predominant usage studies and utility audits for sales and use tax exemptions and recoveries
While LEGACY’s Meter Management Service offers an abundance of services to meet your business needs, we do not manage or supervise general contractors or subcontractors, guarantee their compliance with building or safety codes, or perform dispute resolution concerning electrical codes, building standards and standards of service requirements.
