Businesses

In addition to completing a Business Membership Application, you will also need to complete and provide the following items:

*A minimum security deposit will be assessed at the time a new account is created. This requirement can be waived, if you can provide a letter of credit from your previous electric utility company in which you had a minimum of 12 months of service history within the last 2 years.


Are You a Landlord or Property Manager?

A landlord/property manager wishing to have their electric service put back into their name once a tenant schedules a disconnect will need to fill out an Automatic Continuance of Electric Service Between Tenants (PDF), commonly referred to as a Between Tenant Agreement (BTA). This will ensure no interruption of service between tenants and no connect fees.

If a tenant falls delinquent, the active BTA holder will receive an “Option to Subscribe for Service” notice. If the landlord/property manager does not subscribe or no payment is made prior to the date declared in the Notice, electric service will be disconnected.
