Yes, if the power company requires a line side disconnect for cold sequence metering. The line side disconnect is not the service disconnect and is locked by the power company.
A service disconnect can be installed on the line side in order to satisfy a power company requirement for a meter disconnect, but that disconnect can not be locked. . If the power company will be adding a lock, then the locked one is classified as a meter disconnect only and an additional disconnect [with OCPD] is required which would be the service disconnect.
A second disconnect serving only as a meter disconnect is not required to have OCPD but must be rated for the available interrupting rating/AIR/AIC. . Be aware that many unfused disconnects are only rated for 10K AIC.
