I0282: Return of Legacy Meters

REC (Retail Energy Code)·notice·LOW·18 Sept 2025·source document

What is being proposed

Do all Meter Asset Providers want their old meters returning? There will be thousands if not millions of non-smart legacy meters being transported around the country at a cost and with an environmental impact. Is anyone recycling these meters or is disposal being arranged once they have been returned? Consequently, is there a net value in the return of old meters which then need to be disposed of?
