    Each apartment will need a 100 amp breaker panel, and the main service will need to be 200 amp, with two new 100 amp meters and disconnects.

    This will require that you consult with the power company for their service location and metering requirement, permit from the local code enforcement office, and an electrician to change the service and panelboards.
