THE SHORT ANSWER
LCEC’s current application asks for the member name, account number, service location and meter number and warns that discrepancies with LCEC records will delay interconnection. [1]
Copy from a current account record
Use a recent LCEC bill or account screen rather than a proposal cover sheet. Record the customer name exactly, including entity names or initials, and distinguish the service location from a separate mailing address.
Photograph without guessing
A safe exterior photo can help identify the meter surroundings, but do not open equipment. Compare the visible meter identifier with the current utility record. If a meter was recently exchanged, ask LCEC which number belongs on the application.
Resolve ownership changes first
A recent purchase, trust transfer, divorce or business-name change can leave project documents using different names. Ask LCEC how to update the account and which person should submit. Do not alter an insurance document or signature to force a match.
Use one identity block everywhere
Place the verified fields on the application, one-line title block, permit documents and insurance evidence. A consistent template reduces corrections, but each party must still approve its own record. Keep contractor details separate from the LCEC member.
Check the final upload
Before submitting, compare the four fields character for character and open every attachment. Save the confirmation screen and any application reference. When a correction arrives, replace the controlled packet rather than sending disconnected pages by email.
