Step 1: Employ an electrician to run suitable wiring from the distribution board, or more typically from the hidden box that contains the rats nest of connections, to the location where the meter will be located but not to connect it to the house wiring.
Step 2: Get ΔΕΗ to move the meter from the old location to the new location and connect it to the incoming supply and the end of the new cable.
Step 3 Get the electrician to connect the new cable to the house wiring in the distribution board/rats nest.
Steps 1 and 3 should be straightforward. Step 2...? It took me many months and several visits to ΔΕΗ before I got Step 2 done. Also I had to have a new pole installed since the supply cable couldn't be routed from the original pole to the new location. In the end I resorted to asking a friend who knew someone senior in ΔΕΗ to ask them to expedite it otherwise I think I would still be waiting now ten years later.
No idea of cost. My original build specification was for the meter to be located in a box on the garden wall so the developer paid any fees. It was only located on the house wall as a temporary measure until everything was complete. I had also specified a dual meter for cheaper night tariff and that was installed at the time the meter was moved.
