Is it required that I run rigid conduit inside a building from the meter
base to the entrance panel? The run from the meter to the entrance
panel will be at least 20 feet. Locating this outside the building
would be very difficult.

Thanks,

If you install overcurrent protection at the meter, conduit may not be
required. Other variables may come into play such as if the run will be
subject to abuse. Without overcurrent protection article 230.6 may be
applicable where the conduit must be encased in concrete. You should check
with the power company and the authority having jurisdiction for this
question.
