Not in North America. The electrical meter has to be in plain sight and accessible on the side of a home for the meter reader to access it. In commercial installations it can be in an electrical room but the key has to be accessible to the meter reader. This is usually done with a key lock box that is installed close to the door of the electrical room of which the meter reader has the only key.
