Application for Commercial Electric Service

Please read all instructions carefully before opening the Word version of the online Application for Commercial Electric Service.

1.	Use this form only to request: (1) temporary electric service for the construction of a commercial building; or (2) an electric service upgrade for an existing commercial building. To request any type of residential electric service or to apply as a new CWLP customer in an existing commercial facility, use the New Customer Application.
2.	To successfully submit this form electronically, your computer should be equipped with Microsoft Word. If you have some other type of word processor, please do not attempt to make an electronic submittal, as your form might be unreadable by CWLP. NOTE: If you have a word processor other than Microsoft Word, you can still type your information into this form, then print it and submit it manually (see #5 below for instructions on how to submit the form manually).
3.	After opening the form, complete all appropriate fields. (Fields identified by an asterisk must be filled in.)
4.	To submit this form electronically, save the completed form to your hard drive (as a Word document only). Do NOT change the file name when saving. After saving the form, close Word. (If you have an older version of Word, you might need to click the BACK option in the main menu bar. A dialogue box will appear asking if you want to save the changes that have been made to the document. Click NO.) This will return you to this instruction page. Once back at this page, click here to open a pre-addressed email message box, attach your saved file to the email, then click Send.
