Temporary Service During Construction:
There are two types of temporary electric service: KCP&L-provided and customer-provided:
KCP&L-Provided Service - This is available only in 120 volts, so only 120-volt equipment can be operated. No city or county inspection is required, but a fee will be charged for each six month service period.
Customer-Provided Service - This is generally 120/240 volt, 3-wire service although other voltages may be available. City or governing agency inspections are required before KCP&L can connect this type of temporary service.

Permanent Service:
Once the electrical work has been completed inside and out, call your electrical inspector's office for a safety inspection. This must be completed before KCP&L can connect your service. The inspector will contact KCP&L to approve connection, generally the following working day. Depending on the complexity, we may need to inspect outside your home one last time before scheduling a construction crew to connect the service.
Remember to have the temporary service meter removed if no longer needed. |
Anticipating and Controlling Costs:
The decisions you make regarding service size and distribution can result in additional construction costs. Remember, too, that costs to provide service in rural settings can be higher than in cities where distribution lines are closer and readily accessible. Start planning early and your KCP&L representative can help you identify potential costs so you can anticipate and control them.
