Electrical Utility Meter Handling and Secondary Service Supply Restrictions

Notice To: Electrical Contractors working within the ENMAX Power Corporation (EPC) Service Territory (City of Calgary and surrounding area).

EPC, with the cooperation of the City of Calgary Electrical Inspections, is enforcing its procedures and protocols regarding the care and handling of EPC owned electrical utility meters and secondary service supply connections.

EPC, as the Owner is the only party permitted to remove, install and handle electrical utility metering equipment. This is consistent with the electric utility industry's standard and practice Canada wide. This also includes the de-energization or re-energization of utility service supply connection point.

No Electrical Contractor or other third Party shall:

Cut or remove an EPC electrical meter seal or meter ring.
Remove an EPC electrical meter from an energized or de-energized meter base.
Disconnect or reconnect energized utility service conductors at the service entrance (mast / weather head).

IMPORTANT: EPC will be closely monitoring these restrictions and will be collaborating with the City of Calgary Electrical Inspections to ensure that all infractions are identified and reported as required.
