When a commercial developer is interested in doing a project in our area, they start by applying for service with our member service and experience department. Then I meet with the project manager at the construction site to review logistics and plans. In many cases, the architect prepares the electrical plans and I review them to ensure that they are compatible with KEC’s electric distribution system, including the location of our existing and future equipment.
We also discuss how much power the commercial project will use so the equipment installed is adequately sized. I then serve as a liaison between the general contractors, electricians, and KEC crews as construction progresses from groundbreaking through turning on the lights.
