The requirement for Emergency Disconnects in the 2023 NEC Art. 230.85 does not call out that it is to be installed on the line or load side of the utility meter.

Also, at this time the DTE ESIG seems to be missing their requirements on this.

Possibly DTE will be mandating an Emergency Disconnect integral with the meter enclosure. Whether underground or overhead, services could benefit from such a meter combination. 

Additionally, 230.85 (C) Replacement. Exception. "Where only meter sockets, service entrance conductors, or related raceways and fitting are replaced, the requirements of this section shall not apply". 

It seems since the requirement for Emergency Disconnects is paramount to safety, and the Michigan Electrical Code requires bringing up services to the present code when worked on, why this exception?

Thoughts on this or any information about this would be helpful to contractors, installers and inspectors.
