customer

For the purposes of PEER, this refers to the consumer served by the grid operator. For city projects, this includes customers of all classes billed by the utility, municipality or third-party supplier. For campuses, this includes business and groups of individuals (i.e., building tenants, or university departments) that are served by the grid operator. In the case where the building owner is the grid operator, “customer” refers to the individuals or groups of individuals on the consumer side of the meter, regardless of billing practices.
