I have personally run into this with my property and PPL. I wanted to get rid of my telephone pole in my yard and below that I built a Very big garage and split there and pay for the extra drop. By code and zoning PPL would not let me set another meter because of PPL having the Same address for both meter reads on the land.
If it was building to apts added and new addresses then the billing department can recognize the change. That change in the billing can be recognized as a commercial billing which I guess there billing computer will not get screwed up because of a name etc commercial.
Plain and simple two Exact Address and two separate Res service meters no A B C apt etc. No go Had to go to house first another 150 more and split there and back the same 150 trench and then down over the hill to garage/barn. Now one even bothered to look over the hill ot was a dead no.
