New construction procedures apply to the construction or installation of a new facility that does not yet have electric service. New homes and businesses where construction has been completed and electric service has been installed are not considered new construction from an electric service standpoint. Consumers requiring electric service at these locations need to view our Start/Stop Service page for information on how to obtain new electric service.

Extending Power to a New Property  

When an individual contacts the Association regarding new construction, paperwork will be required to begin a work order and ultimately establish a contract for construction. The owner must contact Engineering Services, at the local IREA office, with a legal description (subdivision with filing, block & lot or township, range and section) and address (if available) for the property. The owner will be required to complete a Contract Authorization form and pay a design fee. The design fee will be applied toward any construction costs. A work order will then be issued to an engineer. The engineer will meet at the property with you or your contractor to determine what is required and an estimated cost.

In addition to the main office located in Sedalia, there are three District offices — Strasburg, Woodland Park, and Conifer — for your convenience.

Development Letter

By Colorado law, the developer must acquire a letter of agreement from the utility in connection with local land use applications. The Engineering Department will evaluate the project and respond to a "will serve" letter request.
