Start New Service
Welcome to Glades Electric Cooperative!
Need service at a location with an existing meter? Please complete the application at the “Apply for Service” link below.
Need to start the process for constructing a new service? Please visit our New Construction webpage.
If you are considering purchasing a property and are seeking a rough estimate for new service construction, please complete our New Construction Rough Estimate Form.
After your request is submitted, a Member Services Representative will contact you regarding any other information needed.
Service applications are reviewed during regular business hours, Monday – Thursday 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Please note: You do not need to be present at the service location when the power is turned on. However, by requesting service from Glades Electric you are granting 24-hour access to your meter for meter reading, maintenance, and emergencies. It’s imperative our personnel have a clear and unrestricted path for access to the meter at all times including the need for gate codes, combinations, and/or keys for locked gates.
- A $75 connect fee is charged for service in a location that has never had electricity and at locations where the power is disconnected.
- A $35 transfer fee will be charged if you are transferring an active service.
- Deposit requirement is based upon the service location, type, and credit history. Deposits may be waived for applicants allowing Glades Electric to obtain a credit report, provided that the report demonstrates good credit history.
- Please complete all membership and service requirements for connection at an existing service within thirty (30) days. Failure to meet this deadline will result in a voided service application.
- Any applicable county permits will also be required.
- Additional fees may be incurred for the construction of brand new services. Please see our Information for Brand New Services (English) (Spanish) for details. To learn more about starting service to new construction, visit our New Construction page.
If the location at which you are attempting to establish service has not previously had power, the following additional items will be required. Please print and submit them to a local office. (Note: We must receive the original and notarized Right-of-Way Easement form before construction can occur at the location.)
