Apply for Services

Need to establish service? Here are a few things to consider first.

Traditional Account versus Prepaid Metering

What is best for you?

Traditional Accounts

  • Credit checks are required for all new members setting up traditional accounts.
  • Subject to security deposits and late fees.
  • Monthly due dates are assigned.
  • You receive a monthly statement based on the previous month’s usage.

Prepaid Metering

  • Offers the flexibility and convenience of paying how much you want, when you want
  • Add as much money as you want on your prepaid account and pay as you use.
  • No security deposit or credit check required and no late fees because there’s no due date!
  • Receive daily notifications regarding your account balance and buy more power at any time by using our convenient payment options.

CT meters, 400-amp service, demand or net metering accounts are not eligible for prepaid metering.

Items Needed When Applying for Service

  • Meter number for the new location
  • $5 membership fee at the time of application
  • Signed Membership Application and Prepaid Service Agreement, if applicable
  • Security deposit, if required
  • Connection fee
