Existing Service Location

An existing service location is a property where electric service has been connected previously and a meter is already installed. This includes situations such as a change of tenants or ownership.

To establish service at an existing location, please provide:

• The service address where the meter is located, or
• The meter number

This information will help our Member Services Representatives identify the correct account and process your request efficiently.

Please note: If electric service has been disconnected for one year or longer, an electrical inspection may be required before service can be reconnected. Please refer to our list of approved electrical inspectors for more information. The list is on our Member Forms page.

New Service Location

A new service location is a property where electric service has never been installed.

If you are planning to build a new home, install a new service, or need electric service at a location that has never had electricity, please contact our Line Department before construction begins.

To get started, call (607) 776-4161 or (800) 843-3414, or visit one of our office locations.

Our team will guide you through the requirements, timelines, and steps necessary to bring electric service to your property.
