What's the process?

Your new construction is ready for the meter once the job is complete. Upon installation, the electrician-installed meter housing will need to be inspected by the city and/or county. The inspector will set up a meter release to United Power. 

Once receive the meter release and have all the information (including billing info, is it energized and map location), we can send to Operations. It may take up to 10 business days for Operations to set the meter.

  • Inspectors to submit electric inspection releases.
  • Homebuilders to request a meter connect.
  • Contractors to notify that the service lateral in a subdivision has been installed.
  • The Public to use a General View for service updates.

Be on the lookout for invitations for training and instructions for use.
