All new or current members needing NEW SERVICE or wanting an existing service RELOCATED must first contact the staking superintendent at (830) 780-3952. After reviewing your request, staking will call to schedule an appointment to meet with you at your location. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call the staking superintendent at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule.

1. What will the meter serve (house, mobile home, shop, water well, etc.)?
2. Where will the structure(s) be located?
3. What amp and voltage service is requested to serve the electrical load?
4. Where will the meter be located (installed on the structure or the meter pole)?

   The engineering department will mail a construction cost estimate to the address you provide.

1. A membership application packet including a right of way easement will be mailed upon your request. Please execute and return the original forms along with the total amount due. The applicant will be responsible for providing Karnes Electric Cooperative, Inc. with all easements.
2. All service locations require a deposit. An applicant shall not be required to pay a deposit if the applicant has established a satisfactory credit rating (Online Credit Verification Form) as determined by the cooperative.
3. After the payment and paperwork are received and all easements are secured, a staking technician will stake the job and submit it to the operations superintendent who will schedule the job for construction.
4. The cooperative will make a good faith effort to complete the project in a timely manner, but the completion of the facilities and the initiation of service will depend upon circumstances beyond the cooperative’s control.
5. The applicant is responsible for everything below the meter. Once your disconnect box is installed, call Karnes Electric to schedule a serviceman to inspect the connection. If it is approved, the serviceman will energize your meter. If the disconnect box is improperly installed and a second trip is required to energize the meter, a $50.00 service charge will be applied to your next bill.

Karnes Electric Cooperative, Inc. looks forward to serving you as a member-owner of the cooperative.
