Meter Spot Process

TDR Process Fall River Electric will disconnect and reconnect any service supplying member-owned service equipment that must be de-energized prior to modification. There will be no charge for the disconnection if done during normal work hours. The reconnection will be done without charge if it can be completed on the initial trip or on a second trip scheduled during regular working hours, and at Fall River’s convenience; otherwise, the member will be billed a reconnection charge according to the fee schedule then in effect. Any modifications to metering equipment will require a state electrical inspection. Fall River Electric cannot reconnect unless the modifications have been certified by the State. (For your safety, only authorized Fall River Electric representatives will disconnect or reconnect facilities.)

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Fall River Rural Electric before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
