The service route from the transformer to the service location must be cleared per Cloverland specifications.

An on-site evaluation and written price estimate are available upon request for a small fee.

Construction fees must be paid in full before we will proceed with the construction of your service. Cost estimates for the work performed will be based on rough grade restoration.

An electrical permit is required. If you will be doing the work yourself, you must apply for the permit. If you are planning to hire an electrical contractor, the contractor will apply for the permit. Permit applications may take two or more weeks for processing. View the Michigan Electrical Permit Application (PDF).

Before we can make the service connection, the meter socket, disconnect panel, and related items must be installed per Cloverland specifications and applicable electrical codes.

For primary metering, please review our distributed primary voltage service requirements (PDF).

We require a signed easement before the service is installed. Easements may also be required from adjoining property owner(s). This process can take a number of months.

An electrical inspector must approve the service. If you are completing the work yourself, it is up to you to schedule the inspection; otherwise, the electrical contractor will do it for you. Once your service is approved, the electrical inspector will notify our member services department and provide us with an official release.

Before contacting an electrical inspector, contact your local Cloverland Staking Technician by calling (906) 635-6800.

All new service applicants will be required to pay a one-time $5 co-op membership fee and any other applicable construction fees as approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission.
