It depends on the circumstance; therefore, YEC does not promise construction completion dates. If line construction is necessary, YEC requires a minimum notice of 10 working days. In order to begin service the following is required: county permit, service order request, meter base installed, signed underground form, and member application. Failure to provide these documents may delay the process. Connection for services, other than temporaries and agricultural uses, must have power authorization before YEC can set the meter. Other factors to consider when requesting service:
Weather can cause delays in the construction process.
Services in subdivisions do not take as long to connect because the primary service is already installed.
A new home, that hasn't had power before, may need to have right of way obtained or cleared. Also, poles may need to be set in order to get service to the home.
