TEMPORARY POWER If you are building a new home or commercial facility and require temporary power for construction in the City of Anaheim, please follow the steps below to receive temporary power and meter installation from Anaheim Public Utilities. While the steps will apply to the majority of our temporary services, there may be additional steps and fees in some circumstances, such as when your panel is over 200 amps or when city-owned facilities require relocation/undergrounding. If you believe any of these situations apply to you, please contact Electrical Engineering at [PHONE REDACTED] for additional information on how to proceed with your service request.

To assist you, an Electrical Engineering representative will need to know the voltage and ampacity you are requesting as part of your service. An Electrical Engineering representative will determine the service point for your temporary power request and provide you with an Electrical Meter Spot Report within 1-2 business days. You will also receive a bill for fees associated with your Electrical Meter Spot Report, which can be paid by mail or at the Cashier, located on the 1st Floor of Anaheim West Tower. Step 2: Electrical Permit Once your meter location has been approved, you may apply for an electrical permit over-the-counter at the Building Division, located on the 1st Floor of City Hall.

First, call the Building Inspection Line to request an electrical service inspection from the Building Division - you’ll be asked to provide your meter spot report during the time of your scheduled inspection. Once you have passed the building inspection, contact our Electrical Utility Inspector, which is provided to you on the Electrical Engineering Meter Spot Report, and arrange for the final utility inspection.
