R8-21     INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT OF METERS AND CHANGES IN LOCATION OF SERVICE

(a)  A customer's request for electric utility service grants the utility permission to install any metering device that meets the requirements of Rules R8-8, -9, -11, and -12, as deemed appropriate by the utility and in compliance with Commission orders.

(b)  Whenever a customer requests the replacement of the service meter on the customer's premises, such request shall be treated as a request for the test of such meter, and as such, shall fall under the provisions of Rule R8-14.

(c)  Whenever a customer moves from the location where electric service is used by the customer, and thereby requires the disconnecting and/or connecting at a new location of the electric supplier, or information is required from the metering infrastructure to complete the transfer of service, and the same work has been done for the customer within one year preceding, the utility may make a charge, subject to such charge having been approved by the Commission.
