Applying For Residential
Electric Service

You may apply for electric service at any Warren RECC office between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You will be asked to furnish your Social Security number, the service address, and the electric meter number (found on the front of the meter) at the location where you are requesting service.

You will be asked to pay a $10 membership fee, a deposit, and a $25 connect fee. The amount of the deposit is determined by the type of service you request - residential or non-residential. Six percent interest is paid on the deposit and is credited to your electric account annually or when electric service is terminated.

In Simpson and Warren counties and the city of Morgantown, a building permit is required before you can get an inspection for a new home, business or mobile home. The building permit may be obtained from the Franklin-Simpson Planning and Zoning Commission at 300 North Main Street in Franklin; the Bowling Green-Warren County Planning and Zoning Commission at 1141 State Street; or the Morgantown City Hall at 117 North Main Street in Morgantown. In Logan, Ohio, Butler, Edmonson, and Grayson counties, a Notice of Release for Electric Service must be acquired from your local health department for both temporary and permanent service.

MEMBER DEPOSITS

Residential: $100 minimum
(Includes mobile homes and rental property)
New member-customers who sign up for electric service and have a favorable credit report are not required to pay a deposit.

Non-Residential: Determined by Usage
(May be a Letter of Credit from a bank or other financial institution, a Surety Bond or a Certificate of Deposit assigned to Warren RECC)

The membership fee and the deposit are applied to the final bill. If there is a credit, it will be refunded. If there is a balance due, it will be billed. Membership fees are transferable from one person to another in cases of death, divorce or other special circumstances. Membership fees and deposits are also transferable from one location to another upon payment of a service charge. A deposit is subject to refund after two years of good payment history.

SERVICE CHARGES

RESIDENTIAL ELECTRIC RATES

Add 3 percent county tax

Effective: April 1, 2008

FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT

The Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) is a variable energy rate that can fluctuate each quarter with TVA’s fuel and purchased power costs. The FCA affects energy (per kilowatt-hour charge) charges for all customers using the firm rate schedule. For more information, visit www.tva.gov.

EXPLANATION OF CHARGES

Member charges are based on the Cooperative's cost of providing certain services to individual members. Members using these services pay for them so rates may be kept low for other members who do not need these special services.

The preceding list does not include all charges. Other charges may be applicable in special situations. Deposits and charges are subject to change.

REASONS FOR DISCONTINUING SERVICE

The Cooperative may refuse to connect or may discontinue service for non-payment of bills, faulty or dangerous wiring, non-compliance with the application for service or contract, theft of electricity, or appearance of electricity theft devices on a member's premises.

Discontinuance of service does not release a member from any obligations to the Cooperative.
