- Bylaws of Indian Electric Cooperative, Inc. require persons requesting electric service to be members of the Cooperative. If not already a member, the applicant will be required to pay a membership fee and complete a membership application. Indian Electric Cooperative also requires a copy of the legal description of the land showing the legal owners names as they appear on the title or deed to the property where the electric is to be constructed.
- A new member may be required to place on deposit an amount equal to approximately two months electric bill. A credit check showing acceptable credit may be accepted in lieu of a security deposit. Interest will be paid on all deposits at a rate established by Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Deposits will be refunded after customer has established an acceptable payment record for twenty four consecutive months, or upon termination of electric service.
- Indian Electric Cooperative, Inc., will require a main circuit breaker or safety type fuse on the load side, and immediately adjacent to or with in three (3) feet of the Cooperative’s meter.

It is required that the wiring between the meter and the disconnect meet National Electric Safety Code.
- Residential: The Cooperative will build to permanent farmsteads and residences with a standard construction allowance of $1,500 contributed by the Cooperative. The customer shall be responsible for all construction costs in excess of the allowable amount. For residential service the property must have a permanent water supply under pressure and a health department approved sewage disposal in place before any line is constructed. If a customer desires service before the sewer and water are in place, the service will be treated as a temporary service and applicable up and down charges will apply.
Service to Loads Up to 450 kW: The Cooperative will provide a construction allowance of $1,500 contributed by the Cooperative. The customer shall be responsible for all costs of line extension exceeding the construction allowance amount. All specifications, including right-of-way and distances involved will be determined by the Cooperative. Calculation of costs is based on an actual previous cost determination. Ownership of the line will remain with the Cooperative and the right to connect others is in no way waived.
Loads Greater than 450 kW: Extensions for loads greater than 450 kW will be addressed on a case by case basis.

The customer will be responsible for all costs of line extension exceeding the construction allowance.
