New Service Applications

To receive service from Tri-County Electric Cooperative, the consumer must apply for membership. New members may be required to pay a deposit, membership fee and any other applicable fees at the time of application. To obtain service for a new structure, proper county permits and inspection are required before power is connected. The procedure for obtaining temporary service, such as power for building a house, is the same as applying for new service. A valid county permit is also required.
