CMP-4 strikes again!   That one is pretty obvious.  Accessible battery disconnect requirement no so much.  Christopher Warfel

There's very "territorial" language in the 2020 NEC 705.11(D):

"For meter socket enclosures or other equipment under the exclusive control of the electric utility, only connections approved by the electric utility shall be permitted."

    Thanks for all the discussion and insight.  I believe the main
    issue here is them being territorial about the meter socket (they
    did not install it and they do not own it).  My follow up question
    to them was, "I assume that you allow a 320 A meter socket feeding
    two main panels.  Is this different?"  Waiting for a response...

        I would think that would be illegal.  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.  Chris

        Hi All,

        I have a utility that is hinting that they are going to deny
        my interconnection application with a supply side connection
        and require a load side. 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.
