THE SHORT ANSWER
OEU says the installer arranges local inspection and, after installation is approved, the property owner should notify the utility that the project is finished. [1]
Verify local approval
Obtain the inspection result and confirm open corrections are cleared. A crew’s completion photo or paid invoice is not evidence that the jurisdiction approved the work.
Compare installed equipment
Match accessible model labels, quantities and the as-built one-line with the OEU approval and permit set. Document substitutions before presenting the project as final.
Send the completion notice
Use OEU’s current channel with the identifiers and attachments it requests. The property owner should keep the exact message and confirmation even if the contractor helps assemble it.
Expect another utility step
OEU describes field verification and agreement execution before permission to operate. Do not energize or promise a date contrary to utility or equipment instructions.
