New Electrical Services

Supply chain impacts new service connections
Tacoma Power is currently experiencing ongoing supply chain issues that could impact the timelines for new service connections. These ongoing supply issues are resulting in a dwindling stock on hand due to increased material lead times and shipment delays. The supply chain constraints are not specific to one type of material or affecting just the Puget Sound region. We are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible to ensure that construction timelines stay on track to the best of our abilities. We will notify any new applicants if we expect there will be impacts specific to their project.

Project timeline estimates

Depending on the complexity of your project, we estimate timelines for service completion remain weeks or even months longer than before the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize these delays and extended timelines produce cascading impacts for our customers and sincerely regret any inconveniences created.

Below are the estimated times required for each phase of the application process. These timelines may vary due to project complexity.
