Installing a new electric service is a joint project between an OPALCO member and the Engineering Department of the Cooperative. A successful new installation – or modification of existing service – depends on your understanding of the processes and policies highlighted on these pages, and outlined in our detailed Facility Installation Specifications (PDF, 2 MB).
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the following procedures:
- Become a member of OPALCO
- Application for New Service
- Contribution in Aid of Construction (CIAC)
- Easements and Permits
- Payment and Design
- Scheduling Construction
- Setting Your Meter
