One service or two services

[hhsting]

Please see attached sketch has two main service disconnects: main service disco #1 and main service disco #2. Both disconnects are fed from one utility transformer with two service conductors.

Both main service disconnects are in electrical room. The electrical room has middle wall as shown in sketch that separates the two main service disconnects. The vertical space distance between middle wall and electrical room wall is 9 feet.

The two main service disconnects feed both tenants in the building Tenant #1 and Tenant #2.

Given above conditions and conditions in the attached sketch below would this be considered one electric utility service or two electric utility services based on NEC 2014? I looked at NEC 2014 230.2 and 230.40 but they are confusing.

What about the meter ? One or two ?

Two electric utility meters one for each service disconnects but both main service disconnects feed both tenants downstream loads

You asked the same question in August with pretty much the same drawing so, guess what, the answers didn't change..
Review your previous post:

230.2 multiple services allowable

Attached sketch shows two tenants A and B. The electrical room which is accessible from outside houses SWBD1 and SWBD2. SWBD1 is new with main service disconnect of 800A and so is the service conductor underground from utility transformer to SWBD1. SWBD 2 is existing with 600A main service...

see your post #17.. the wall is there

Thats about 230.40 exception #2 and 230.2 first paragraph. Its still not clear what in end everyone said one or two services

I am talking if any 230.40 exceptions apply or not. Not just 230.40 exception 2

That's definitely a "sting" question...
If exception #2 applies then 230.40 exceptions apply,,,
