General Information

Purpose and Mission The North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference provides you with an excellent opportunity to learn all aspects of metering in a school environment. The basic principles and continuing education credits (CEUs) are provided for metering personnel with interest in single phase or polyphase equipment.

You’ll gain a valuable exposure to metering applications and the processing of information gathered from metering, presented in advanced and management levels of instruction. Advanced and management level attendees will take away knowledge of problems, resources, and solutions helping to meet the changing environment of the electric industry.

Metering and utility personnel can increase their knowledge of substations and distribution equipment through two tracks. Information will be presented from utility experience as well as vendor perspectives.

Annually, the North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference brings together meter personnel from the electric utility industry to present important information on common problems, standard practices, procedures, and new technologies. The school is open to any and all persons interested in this opportunity.

Continuing Education Units The successful completion of the single phase or polyphase track entitles participants to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The CEU is a nationally recognized unit of measurement designed to record an individual’s non-credit continuing education accomplishments permanently in increments of 1 CEU per 10 contact hours of instruction. A minimum of 90% attendance is required. Requests for a transcript must be made in writing by individual program participants to the Office of the Vice Provost for Continuing Education, NC State University, McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education, Campus Box 7401, Raleigh, NC 27695-7401. The request must include the participant’s date of birth and NC State personal ID number. The cost for a transcript is $10.00 made payable to NC State University. You may also request and pay for your transcript through your student log-in at www.continuingeducation.ncsu.edu.

Attention: Professional Engineers The North Carolina Electric Meter School & Conference is an approved sponsor of continuing professional competency activities for qualifying North Carolina Professional Engineers and Registered Land Surveyors. Upon course completion, each participant may receive 18 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). Note: These PDHs are only for participants with a North Carolina Professional Engineering license.
