Meter-mounted devices: A meter-mounted device (MMD) is a customer-owned extension of the meter socket installed between the meter socket and the company’s meter that allows for the connection of emergency generation, solar generation, whole-house surge suppression, etc. The MMD form included in the Customer Generation application needs to be uploaded to be considered.

Customer Meter-Mounted Devices FAQ
Please note: PacifiCorp does not plan to approve or adopt the new ConnectDER meter‑mounted devices that contain a “5” in the third character position of the part number (e.g., C‑B‑5‑22‑80). These devices do not meet our current technical requirements. Specifically, PacifiCorp does not permit the use of 5‑jaw meter mounts, and introducing equipment designed to operate with both 4‑jaw and 5‑jaw configurations could create confusion within our service territory.
We are actively engaged in communication with ConnectDER regarding this matter.
