Placards

The Generator Owner will install a warning label in a conspicuous place on their electric meter or meter box to notify Company personnel that there is a generator source installed on the load side of the meter. The warning label shall not be placed in a location that would interfere with the ability of Company personnel to read the electric meter. The Company will provide the warning label to the Generator Owner. The warning label must be in place before the generation can be interconnected.
