What wire is this going to meter.Looks as if its a grounding wire since the cable is linked to it also before going in ground.

grounding wire
If the panel your showing is your 'service equipment' ... ie... the panel that contains the 1st means to disconnect all power from your home then a bonding screw is required. The bonding screw bonds the metal enclosure to the grounded conductor (utility neutral) and by doing so it brings that enclosure to the same potential as all the other 'bonded metal' and also the enclosure becomes part of the effective fault path so a circuit breaker will trip on ground fault.
