Take charge of powering your construction project safely, responsibly, and efficiently. Whether you're building a home, adding a service, or planning an entire subdivision, review our process and requirements to ensure your plans go smoothly.

Review the following steps and fill out our Construction Application to bring power to your construction project.

Steps To Establish New Service on a Construction Project

STEP 1: APPLICATION FOR NEW SERVICE

To establish new electric service at a location, building, or structure that does not have an existing meter, you are required to complete the Construction Application below. This form requires you to supply specific information about your energy needs. If you are working with an electrician for your construction project, your electrician may be able to fill out this information for you or assist you in determining the information you need. A $250 construction deposit is also needed to have an SREC staker visit the job site.

STEP 2: CONSULT WITH AN SREC STAKING ENGINEER

Buildings and property lines MUST be staked PRIOR to any meeting in the field with an engineer. After you submit your Construction Application and pay the $250 construction deposit, our staking department will be provided with your completed form. You will be contacted in order to discuss such issues as:

• Service routes/meter locations
• Easements
• Tree trimming
• Member responsibilities
• Temporary construction

STEP 3: ENGINEERING THE PROJECT

During the engineering phase, construction drawings are prepared. The engineer will gather information about existing and planned facilities. Service routes and easement requirements will be determined and site conditions will be discussed. An estimate will be produced and an invoice will be sent to the member.

STEP 4: MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES

If easements are needed, notarized signatures will be required. If any fees are required, payment in full will be required before construction of electric facilities is scheduled. In addition, a final passing town inspection card must be provided.

STEP 5: CONSTRUCTION

It is important that you complete the steps of contacting us and having an SREC representative inspect your site before you install any portion of the service, including installing the meter pan, digging the trench, and so forth. Failure to complete these steps may result in a delay in construction, having to reinstall equipment, and needing to redo any work you have done before our inspection. There may be additional construction responsibilities that must be completed (e.g. tree trimming) before work can be approved and scheduled. All of the criteria found in our Service Requirements Library below must be met and adhered to.
