Q: Who needs temporary power?
Temporary power is primarily used for construction, although there are other applications where temporary power could be used, however City Building and Safety approval is needed.
Q: Can you explain the procedure for setting up temporary power?
When someone decides they’re going to need temporary power, the first step is to get a permit through the city by contacting the local building & safety department. Different cities may have different rules, so never assume that just because you’ve set up a temporary power pole in Los Angeles that the same guidelines apply to different cities or counties.
Once a permit is obtained, the next step is to make application for billing with the local utility company. An onsite meter spot will be necessary is some areas, please contact your local utility Company for the specific requirements. When the city and the local utility company has approved the location the temporary power pole can be installed. The temporary power pole will be energized within the specific time frame of the local utility company.
