Whether you are building a new home, upgrading service, or considering installing your own renewable energy system, it is important to communicate with us while in the planning stages.
Electric Service Guide
To help ensure quality electric service, members, contractors, builders, architects and engineers are encouraged to refer to our Electric Service Guide when planning for upgrades or modifications to existing service. The Electric Service Guide provides information about application requirements, pre-construction requirements, general construction requirements and types of service.
