Stow meter hygiene checklist (local)

1. Export every active Stow account number exactly as billed by Ohio Edison.
2. Note service addresses—campuses hide multiple buildings under one customer name.
3. Mark landlord vs tenant authority.
4. Capture 12–24 months of kWh and kW.
5. Flag renovations, shutdowns, or new electrification.
6. Record contract end dates and any exclusive broker clauses.

Only after that inventory should you open a competitive process. Mechanics live here (not pasted): RFP guide.
