re:Language for on-site interrogation & data retrival- 2nd vers
Below is the modified language and re-posting to the website to incorporate
comments from all of you so far:
2ND VERSION:
"A meter used in Direct Access shall display the total KWH energy
consumption as a minimum. The physical display on the meter may be absent
only if other local means for displaying and retrieving data are provided for
all interested parties, including customers, ESPs and UDCs, without
purchasing proprietary hardware or software (or at no cost). If a meter or
meter device is capable of storing interval consumption measurements or
billing data in its memory, it must have an optical port or another
physical communication connection for on-site interrogation and
billing data retrieval. Where interval consumption measurements or billing
data is generated off site, that site must meet the data access requirements
of a meter device as a minimum."
