Three Schools in One

The annual Meter School consists of several components. The first is a Basic Metering Pre-Conference, which typically starts a day before the Meter School. The Meter School picks up where the Pre-conference ends and builds off of the topics covered. Meter School offers two course options: Basic/Intermediate and Advanced.

Basic Meter Pre-Conference

Basic Meter Pre-Conference will use a combination of interactive classroom and hands-on training to present and reinforce the instruction of the Pre-Conference.

Topics covered:

• Blondel's Theorem

The 2022 Meter School Pre-Conference will be held Feb. 22-23.
