So In a situation like this where the system is grounded at the meter(the gec comes off the meter and attaches to the grounding electrode ) does it still need a gec coming off the neutral bus in the main panel attaching to the electrode if so why or why not bc I know the neutral bus should still be bonded to the enclosure as eveyone above has stated.Depends on the poco too, Georgia Power will not allow the GEC in any of their equipment, but BREMC prefers it, and wants it to extend all the way out the mast where they crimp it with the neutral, even though it passes through a side lug at the neutral connection in the meter base.
