For my own info, the only place you are required to bond at both ends is the a GEC as per 250.64(E) correct>
Not necessarily.
You need to look at what you are trying to accomplish. In this case, as noted the meter and loadcenter are both bonded by connection the the neutral (reasonable assumption on the meter), so
all we are bonding is the service nipple itself and that can be accomplished by bonding either end.
Assume for a moment that we installed a wireway in the conduit run. It too would need to be bonded. We could elect to bond it by installing a separate conductor from the panel or, if we were to use the conduits as a means to bond the wireway, an approved method per 250.92 would be needed.
The same scenario might occur on >250v to ground per 250.96. A conduit run, with the conduit being used as the grounding conductor, with concentric knockouts on both ends would need a grounding bushing (or other approved means) to continue the ground continuity at both ends.
Make sense ?
