Building or Expanding Facilities?
When your business is planning a large expansion or new construction, there may be a need for upgraded electrical service. We can help. Planning for upgraded power is a complex process that takes time, so plan to contact us during the early phase of site selection and planning process.
When Upgraded Power is Needed
Facilities that may need upgraded electrical power are those that:
- Use more than 10 MegaWatts of electricity, or
- Are designed to connect at the 66 kiloVolt level or above
If your facility plans meet these criteria, then we can work with your engineers to develop what’s called a “method of service study" for upgraded electrical service.
Getting Started
Complete a study application package and submit it to the address listed below. An SCE account representative will contact you by telephone to discuss your current and planned future electrical load requirements. This information will be shared with SCE engineers.

Contracts & Costs
A signed letter of agreement and a deposit are required before the project starts. You will be responsible for costs associated with the study and analysis. Account reconciliation is done at the project’s completion.
Planning & Engineering
The planning and engineering process typically requires scoping meetings and job walks. Your company’s engineers and electrical contractor should plan to make time to participate. Based on this information, our engineers and specialists will develop the most efficient method of providing upgraded electrical service to your new or expanded facility.
Presentation & Timeline
When plans are completed, we will contact you to schedule a review meeting. At this meeting, you will learn about anticipated project costs and timelines. Service options presented will remain valid for 90 days.
