Just a heads up for anyone in SC that is ever approached to install metering devices for the sake of billing electricity....it is ILLEGAL. You must first be registered as a utility with the Public Service Commission. You can charge a set rate for power, but to base it on a meter reading is a very bad thing. (Unless you want to compete with Duke, etc.)
Ironically, I have learned that it goes on alot. Alot of folks out there have no legal reason to pay landlord provided sub-metered bills. The guy from the PSC was very nice and said there is the potential to allow metering by non-utilities in the future, but not to hold my breath. I was interested in sub-metering for RV's.
