The undersigned hereby applies for membership and electric service with Oconto Electric Cooperative (OEC), and agrees to the following terms and conditions:

  1. The applicant will comply with, and be bound by the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the cooperative, and such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the board of directors.
  2. The applicant will purchase from OEC all electric energy purchased for the use on the premise described below, except for that generated by their own equipment, and will pay for that electricity monthly or as otherwise scheduled. Rates are determined in accordance with the policies of OEC.
  3. The applicant hereby consents to entry upon the applicant’s land by OEC to construct, reconstruct, rephase, operate, repair, maintain, relocate, thereon and under the surface thereof all appropriate poles, cable, wire and other attachments, equipment and accessories necessary and appropriate for the distribution of electric energy to the applicant’s premise. ALL LINES, METERS AND PROPERTY ENTRANCES MUST BE ACCESSIBLE TO OEC.
  4. The only acceptable electric metering devices will be those provided, installed and maintained by OEC. OEC will immediately disconnect electric service at any account where it is determined that the OEC electric meter has been replaced by any other meter. Additional grounds for service disconnection include, but are not limited to, evidence of meter tampering, state or national electric code violations, or any alterations to the metering as provided by OEC.
  5. If the applicant chooses at any time not to have the electric service connected, the applicant may be billed a charge each month to offset the cost of keeping the facilities to the idle service in good condition. If the applicant chooses not to pay the monthly charge, OEC may remove co-op lines and equipment from the property.
  6. Oconto Electric Cooperative does everything it can to avoid interruptions in your electric service. We’re committed to delivering you the most reliable electrical power possible, and work towards finding and improving ways to achieve that goal. However, there are situations beyond our control that may cause power outages – severe weather such as lightning storms, ice, small animals or birds, unforeseen equipment failures, vehicle accidents, and tree branches touching power lines to name a few.
