Notes to answerer

Asker: thanks, and apologies about the lack of context - the emphasis is on the object - it is a part of the contract that the new tenant must install

10 hrs confidence:

meter box

Explanation:
This is the most commonly-used expression in the English-speaking countries I have lived in (Scotland, England, Rhodesia, Kenya and Australia). I am 59 years old, a native English speaker, and have never said "meter panel" in my life.

Perhaps you might use "meter panel" in an industrial context but I think you mean a residential property here.

Notes to answerer

Asker: thank you, and apologies as above - it is an industrial property, so something bigger than a meter box is implied.
