2. Upon submission of the necessary documents, Meralco will determine the optimum location for
the service entrance and will compute for the applicable contracted capacity based on the
requirements specified in the submitted electrical plans. The technical requirements on the service
entrance may vary depending on the customer's location or structural design of its facility. To avoid
unnecessary cost, customers should refrain from constructing the service entrance until Meralco
advises the optimum location. The contracted capacity will also determine the estimated service
deposit required for new service applications.
3. For new service applications in an area with an existing Meralco facility – Meralco will send to
the customer a new service contract indicating the amount of service deposit for the customer's
acceptance. For new service applications in an area without a close-by Meralco facility – Meralco
will design a power facility to suit the customer's power requirements and compute the relevant
project cost to install this facility including the service deposit. Meralco will send to the customer a
new service contract with the total project cost for customer's acceptance.
4. When all the mentioned requirements have been satisfied, the customer should submit the duly
signed agreement and the Certificate of Final Electrical Inspection (CFEI) and pay the corresponding
fees. In certain situations wherein the customer has a temporary service connection, there will be an
installation and removal cost for the temporary electric facility structure.
5. Meralco installs meter and/or additional facilities and energizes your electric service.
