New Electric Service

New Overhead Electric Service

For a new overhead electric service, MG&E will furnish and install cable to the point of attachment at the customer's service entrance at no cost, provided the total distance does not exceed 150 feet. For longer distances, you will be billed for the additional labor and materials required to make the connection.

New Underground Electric Service

For a new underground electric service, the customer must provide all the conduits, conductors, pull boxes, and terminal boxes according to applicable electric codes and MG&E specifications. MG&E will make the final connection at no charge.

When service is resumed, there will be no turn-on fees for both gas and electric service.
