The Meter Specific Services Working Group operating under the structure of the Rule 22 Committee and the Operations Committee is pleased to announce the implementation of new guidelines for meter installations. These joint guidelines represent an incremental step toward uniformity amongst the UDCs and were developed in cooperation with participating ESPs and MSPs. The timeframe for implementation is to start transitioning participants beginning November 16th, and to complete the transition process by December 16th. ESPs and MSPs should work with the appropriate UDCs through this implementation process. Additionally, there will be a 30 day post implementation review for all market participants. These new policies and procedures contain, among other improvements, two new statewide forms and several revised processes. The guidelines will also be the first chapter of the Operating Manual related to meter installations. Attached you will find the new meter installation guidelines. <<Joint-UDC-ESP-Metering-Handbook.doc>> Attached you will also find a file identifying outstanding issues as priortized by the Meter Specific Group on October 19th meeting. The file includes high level points associated with the issue and the ranking by the market participant group. Although the file contains a place holder for the impacts of the issue, we did not have time to document these. Feedback on these priorities will be the topic of our next meeting. <<mss PRIORITY>> Teresa Acuna Energy Measurement and Service Standards Analyst Phone: 619-654-8792 Pager: 619-526-2777 Location: CP52F Fax: 619-654-8292 tacuna@sdge.com
