FAQ - New Service
MEC will extend service 200 feet from the existing power lines for $800. Longer service runs and services such as RV, low usage, wells, etc. will need to be estimated by our engineering department on a case-by-case basis.
Possibly, if you choose standard billing. Since electric power is used prior to being billed, MEC may require a deposit prior to connection or to continue service as a guarantee of payment.
Interest will be paid on deposits, equal to the rate paid on the United States National Bank's Passbook Savings Account at the end of the previous year. If the deposit is held beyond one year, accrued interest will be paid by a credit to the member's account. If held less than one year, interest will be prorated.
Deposits may also be refunded or credited to the account at any time at the discretion of MEC. Normal refunding or crediting occurs after the member has established 12 continuous months of on-time payments with no past dues.
