Meter Spot Process

• for utility disconnect for upgrades on the line side of any utility owned equipment. Working on the load side of any utility equipment without meter can upgrade DTE utility allows a licensed electrician to pull the meter to disconnect power on the load side without scheduling a utility disconnect. DTE requires a 24-hour call ahead letting them know of the work being performed and the date that the meter will be pulled so it does not alert a tampering alert on their end.
• If the main service upgrade is staying at the same rated amperage as the current service, we do not need to do a meter spot or a meter can upgrade.
