For the City of Vernon, only the City Council can make the decision to allow open access for the city's service territories. Similarly, the Utilities Department cannot provide service to any customers outside of its service boundaries. The City's electrical inspector approves panels and electrical installation for safety and compliance to the National Electric Code. The Utilities Department must approve the panel and meter location to ensure that proper service can be provided. Panel size and load schedule must match the available power.
Location is a major consideration when installing the panel.
The Utilities Department must have 24-hour access to the panel to read meters and to turn off power in case of emergencies. Make sure you identify your company name, address, and the nature of your call. Our Systems Coordinators will dispatch service personnel to your location. I have another facility in Commerce, served by Edison and Edison is not increasing its rates. These companies may seek to recover their costs after the rate freeze has ended.
