THE SHORT ANSWER
OEU says it submits interconnection agreements to both the City of Ocala and the Florida Municipal Power Agency after field verification. [1]
Keep the entities distinct
OEU manages the homeowner-facing utility process; the City and FMPA appear in the stated agreement-execution step. Do not treat a contractor signature as completion of those approvals.
Verify the submitted version
Confirm the agreement reflects the property owner, service address and final accepted system. A corrected application should not be paired with an earlier agreement.
Use the published estimate carefully
OEU currently advises allowing two to four weeks for agreement processing. That is guidance, not a guaranteed completion date for every project.
Track the final evidence
Ask OEU for the status through its published channel and retain the eventual Permission to Operate letter. Keep financing and installation deadlines separate from this utility-controlled step.
Before your next conversation
- Identify each approval entity.
- Match the final agreement.
- Treat timing as an estimate.
- Retain the PTO letter.
