New Residential Construction
Building a new home? Need a line extension to a new site? Call Jackson Electric Cooperative at (715) 284-5385 or (800) 370-4607 to make an appointment to discuss your new service and to request new service information, guidelines and fees. To expedite your appointment, please review the new construction packet and complete the New Service Request and New Member Application (if you are not currently an active member) forms. A right-of-way easement form will be given to you at your appointment.
To accommodate your construction schedule, please allow us adequate time to obtain the needed equipment. The sooner we know your project requirements, the better we can meet your service request.
If you plan on having Jackson Electric Cooperative install new electric service on your property after November 1, an additional charge may be applied if the conventional method of electric service installation is not feasible due to frost.
