What you will need to apply
To allow us to process your application quickly and efficiently, you will need:
- Approved site plans or foundation in place
- Contact information for yourself and your authorized representative
- Billing information
- New meters or services will require an Electrical Inspection Certificate. If your service location is in the Rockaway Peninsula, you will need a NYC building Permit. You can request a copy of this document from your electrician.
- Service location and use information, including pole/pad numbers (if available)
- For new electric service: load details are required for 400amp services or larger. For the new meter(s) you are requesting, including volts, amps, phase, and air conditioning load, the assistance of your electrician may be necessary.
