Kris, Are they telling you the problem is the connection in the meter base? We get this all the time from local utilities. Even with the listed Milbanks like you describe, they say no and direct us to tap on the load side of the meter base. I agree that you may consider an informal complaint with your PSC. Our KY PSC denied my complaint but promptly initiated a state-wide hearing on interconnection standards.
Good luck.

They don't have jurisdiction on supply side taps. It's past the meter, and expressly allowed in the NEC. I would definitely first ask to talk to a higher level person than the one denying it (paper trail important). If that does not work, then the PSC is your best option.

Has anyone seen this before? (Proposed interconnection would be with Milbank step lugs in a 200 A socket and a 60 A fused disconnect within 10 feet.) If they refuse it, i am thinking that registering a complaint with the Wisconsin PSC may be appropriate. Kris Shine On!
