Powering your Construction Site or New Home? Welcome - we are pleased to be your partner for power.

Obtaining temporary or permanent electrical service? Following these steps will ensure a successful partnership in meeting your electric service needs.

Step One:

As soon as possible in your construction process, please submit your application in the manner most convenient for you.

• By Web: An online application form.  Please be prepared to provide all necessary information.
• By fax: Complete the application form and fax it to 407.804.3075 (Orlando metro area) or 800.679.8004 (all other areas).
• By phone: You can speak to a Progress Energy representative by calling 800.700.8744. Please be prepared to provide all necessary information.  The person responsible for the new account must place the call to Progress Energy.

Step Two:

We request that a deposit and service charge be paid for each temporary and permanent service along with any special fees, such as underground service costs. Deposit alternatives may be discussed with your Progress Energy representative.

Step Three:

Progress Energy may need to extend power lines and/or install underground service lines to meet your needs. To avoid delays, please talk with your Progress Energy representative as soon as possible because completion of these services could vary by multiple weeks. If your request pertains to underground service, you will need to contact Progress Energy once the meter base is in place to schedule installation.

Step Four:

When all appropriate inspections have cleared, your permitting authority or designated party will notify Progress Energy to authorize electric service connection.

Step Five:

Progress Energy will schedule the connection of your service and meter installation based on weather and service workload.

Helpful Facts You Need to Know:
