Most of the time I see them they are monitoring the power consumed by cable television distribution equipment. CATV power supplies, or sometimes feeding traffic signal controls, possibly sewer pumping stations. |

On a rare occasion, if the site is at the border of two electric companies that have a large price differential, a consumer might do that to put the point of service (the meter) inside of one territory and then a line into the house (or whatever) that in the other territory. But it's pretty rare. |
