If you're in the process of building a new home, the diagrams below will show you SRE's requirements for installing your meter pole and for overhead or underground wiring. The cost to extend a line to a new premise depends on the square footage and many other variables that must be determined by the staking department. Upon completion of a site visit and meeting with the member, the staking department will provide an estimate of the construction fees. Please contact customer service at 770-358-1383 to begin that process.
