We're here to deliver you reliable, affordable and energy efficient energy solutions that power your new home, business or commercial project, or as you expand your current energy needs.

Building Your Dream Home

For our Residential Members constructing your new home or expanding your current energy needs, we are here to help you along your journey – from planning your project to starting service.

First confirm your new property does not already have electric service. Then make sure your address is within our service territory. Next talk to us to start the process to service your new construction.

Understand the steps to connect your residential property so you know what to expect throughout your project.

Meter On House (MOH) Standards

To ensure a safe, reliable delivery of power, we have standardized our approved MOH processes and specifications.

200-amp services are $750 per lot and 320-amp services are $1,500. The approved meter socket for 200-amp services is the Milbank U4801-XL-5T9 with lever bypass. For questions on alternative 200-amp sockets due to supply chain issues, contact us directly. We will continue to supply 320-amp service meters. The proper height installation for PVREA sockets is 5’6″ to the center of the meter. Any socket not within 6″ of this height will not be approved.
