Default I feed 2 services?

Never seen this before, a duplex with 2 100A panels, seperate feeds to each panel fed by a single feed from the pole. They are all spliced together under the eave. Thoughts?

Compliant - 230.40, Ex. 1

Just remember that in that allowance you still need to meet compliance with NEC 230.71 and 230.72. However, that is well beyod what your question was.

I believe that is up to the utility. They do not get involved in the NEC
