Meter and Meter Data Clause Samples
The "Meter and Meter Data" clause defines the responsibilities and procedures related to the installation, ownership, operation, and data management of utility meters. It typically specifies which party is responsible for providing and maintaining the meters, how meter readings are collected and shared, and the standards for data accuracy and access. For example, it may require the utility provider to install certified meters and grant the customer access to consumption data. This clause ensures accurate measurement of utility usage, facilitates transparent billing, and helps prevent disputes over consumption data.
