@raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie @dec23k@mastodon.ie Really interesting!
In the US, un-metered electric service is very rare, to my knowledge. Possibly street lights in some places, if they were installed back in the pre-deregulation days. Maybe very heavy industry.
But my local gas company has a line on the bill for "unmetered gas light" service, which are charged a flat rate, if you have them. I suspect it's for outdoor gas lights that tap directly into the street mains.
