Construction Resources

Boone Power is here to help you as you build a new home in our service territory. From setting up temporary power for the construction phase of your build, to installing your permanent meter base, you'll find helpful resources on this page for you and your construction partners.

For any follow-up questions, you can contact our staking technicians at 800-897-7362 or complete the Contact Us form at https://www.boonepower.com/contact.

The first step in the new construction process is to apply for construction electric service. If you are building a new home or business in Boone Power's service territory where there is not yet electric service, and you need to get power at the location, the first step is completing the Construction Service Application.

To confirm your location is in Boone Power's service territory, check the Electric Provider Map. Please note that we rebranded; we were previously Boone REMC, so any locations marked Boone REMC are Boone Power's service territory.
