Electrical current in an electrical power distribution system, such as at a power distribution transformer or the like, for an electrical utility is transferred through a current sensing connector lug mounted with an end of a user or consumer's service connection conductor or line. The lug is connectable to the power distribution transformer or secondary conductor, for connecting the user's service conductor to power from the distribution system. The flow of electrical current and thus the amount of electric power provided to an individual user is measured at the current sensing lug rather than at the user's site or facility, removing the need for watt-hour meters at the user or customer site, and also thus removing the requirement for conventional meter reading crews or for automated meter reading equipment. The current sensing lug also facilitates the accumulation of other utility data information, which formerly required a site visit by utility personnel.
