Most bases don't even have any metering at all, or at least they didn't before.... (Base Maint. for several years) They (most) get bulk rate for the whole base complex. This might be one of those ideas about "Privatization" of facilities, where some company came up with the lowest bid to manage base housing or other areas for America's Finest.
And you're gonna love this... The NEC is up to the Command of the Base on compliance standards. (Although most work does... As it most often done by civilians, on lowest qualified bidder basis, but outside contractors who follow the NEC for the most part.)
