Thank you for downloading PPL Electric Utilities’ (PPL EU) application for electric service. To provide timely
electric service to your facility, an accurate and complete application is essential. NOTE: INCOMPLETE
APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED AND WILL BE RETURNED.

Please complete the entire application and return it as soon as possible. Your application will be processed within two
working days after we receive a satisfactorily completed application. We will then send you a confirmation letter
informing you of your work order number. The work order number is unique to your job, will be used to track its status,
and will remain active for one (1) year from date of issue.

PPL EU’s service wires, transformers, meters and other equipment will be installed to meet the load requirements as
provided to us on the submitted application and will have a limited excess capacity. For a typical secondary service it
takes approximately 6 months to provide service and approximately 8 months for 12 kV Primary services.

If you have any questions concerning this application, please contact Business Accounts at
1-888-220-9991 option 4, or refer to PPL EU’s Rules for Electric Meter & Service Installations (REMSI) at:
https://www.pplelectric.com/at-your-service/electric-rates-and-rules/remsi.aspx

Return only the completed application at this time. Our confirmation letter will instruct you where to send drawings and
other supporting information.

Thank you. We look forward to serving you.
