Service Drops & Meters

Coast Electric Power Association will connect only one set of service drop conductors per building except as permitted by the National Electrical Code. All meters are supplied and installed by Coast Electric Power Association and remain the property of the Association.

Mississippi code prohibits the tampering and unauthorized breaking of Coast Electric Power Association meter seals. The offense is a misdemeanor and is subject to penalty, fines and prosecution.

Coast Electric Power Association has established all fees and charges based on the reasonable and customary standard for our industry and local area.

A membership fee, service charge and deposit are required on new residential accounts. The deposit may be waived if a customer's credit score is sufficient to warrant a waiver of this charge. These fees are outlined in the Association's Service Rules and Regulations, Appendix A, Schedule of Fees and Charges.

Additional fees or aid-to-construction charges may be required when line construction is needed to bring electricity to your home property. These charges are determined by our engineering department based on factors such as distance from existing lines, number of poles and other line equipment to be installed.
