Electrical Service Requirements and Guidelines

Oregon Trail Electric has assembled these resources to meet the needs of residential and commercial builders, developers and contractors. We are proud to partner with builders throughout our service territories to bring economic growth and opportunity to the people and communities we serve. OTEC can help you meet technical requirements and coordinate your service installation. Contact your local OTEC office and we will create a schedule to meet your service connection needs.

Electrical Service Requirements Manual

What is a line extension?

A line extension is the extension of primary electric facilities to the member's property or building. If OTEC does not have a power source adjacent to the member's property, a line extension may be required. In some cases, existing facilities may be inadequate and upgrading will be required. For additional clarification, please read the Electrical Service Requirements Manual and Rule K of the OTEC Tariff or contact your local OTEC office.
