It’s not difficult or tricky, and is pretty much a preferred method in my neck of the woods.
You furnish:
Primary Conduit and pole riser or manhole penetration; pull string only.
T-Pad w/grounding
Secondary Conduit and Wire
Main Disconnect (local critera may apply here, if its less than 6 handles this is not required in some areas)
CT Can
Meter Can
Tap Box (unless you’re AJH will let you do taps in the gutter)
Tap Blocks
Gutter that is long enough to accommodate all the tenants meters
House Meter Can
277/480V House Panel (100A 12-24ckt) For building lighting, signs, and lots lights.
9kVA Transformer
120/208 House Panel (100A 12-24ckt) For Receptacles, heat trace and misc.
(Note: you can do a powerzone 120/208V panel with a transformer built in but they can be hard to get and are expensive)
All the tenant meters are HV glass meters in a can, they come out of the gutter into a disconnect, to a meter (some areas hit the meter first then a disconnect) then to the lease space to disconnect or a MCB panel depending on your local criteria.
Depending on the deal you make, either you or the tenants furnish the service to the lease space and each space gets their own transformer and who furnished the lease space service is also negotiable. This is all SOP for tenant finish out, and most tenants especially national chains want HV service.
Not sure how the POCO works up there but getting a HV and a LV service to the same building does not happen here.
