THE SHORT ANSWER
OEU says it no longer accepts interconnection agreements submitted by contractors, installers or third-party processors; property owners must submit them directly. [1]
Confirm the property owner
Resolve trusts, estates, entities, recent sales or multiple owners before signatures. Ask OEU what authorization it requires instead of guessing from the electric-account name.
Let professionals prepare accurately
A contractor can explain technical fields and supply drawings while the owner retains the submission duty. The owner should review equipment, capacity and service-address data before sending.
Use the official channel
Follow OEU’s current instructions for forms, attachments and email. Keep sensitive records limited to what the city requires and never share passwords with a project intermediary.
Preserve proof of submission
Save the exact signed version, attachments, sent message and receipt. Later corrections should identify the original file and clearly state what changed.
Before your next conversation
- Confirm the legal property owner.
- Review technical fields.
- Submit through OEU’s current channel.
- Save proof and attachments.
