Meter Base Shortage
Supply chain issues are causing product shortages in several industries, including the electric industry. Auburn Electric is beginning to experience shortages with electric meter bases. Electricians, builders, businesses and homeowners are asked to reschedule voluntary service upgrades until we replenish our inventory of meter bases (estimated to be Spring 2022) and/or source your own meter bases.
