Meter Release

New Construction-Once the MVEA requirements are met, MVEA will set a meter after it has been inspected and approved by the electrical inspector within that jurisdiction. Once the electrical inspector notifies MVEA of a meter release, the meter will be set the next business day.

General electrical inspection-Many state and local laws require that a permit be obtained prior to the installation of electrical wiring or devices and that an inspection be performed to ensure that the work was performed safely and meets applicable code requirements.
