How close to edge of a building can a meter base be installed.

[WHayward]

I have a customer with an old home, the current Federal Pacific meter/main panel has exterior plumbing running underneath and multiple conduits running up to the panel. Service is overhead.

The current panel/meter location is not Green Book compliant. The only complaint location is 20 feet away.

What I am considering is installing a meter base only at the Green Book compliant location which ideally would need to be installed as close to the edge of the building as possible. And installing a new main panel in the same location as the old panel.

How close to edge of building a meter can be placed is one of my questions, Green Book shows clearances but I did not see a minimum from the edge of a building.

The location fine but will you have the required working space with all of that stuff around?

The customer will remove the plant structure.

Will the service cable be routed outside, or will you put a main disco under the meter?

I am planning to use a meter base with disconnect.

And from the meter base, going under ground to the main panel location.
