Transferring Service

Moving to a new residence in our service territory that already has a Lane-Scott Electric meter, or transferring an account to someone else? No problem! Call our office during normal business hours to request the transfer.

  • The person whose name is currently associated with the meter must call the office to confirm the meter is being transferred out of their name.

  • Similar to a new service, a service agreement for the new meter (account) must be signed by the person moving to the location. 

Disconnecting Service

If you are moving:

We appreciate your business and we hope you have been satisfied with our service. The account must be listed in your name to request disconnection and we will need to know the following information:

  • Your present address and/or forwarding address. This is required to send your final bill and/or returned deposit if there was one.

  • Be prepared to tell us the date you would like to disconnect your service.

Your meter will be read on the date of requested disconnect and any remaining energy charges from the bill cycle will appear on your final bill. Depending on where you are in the billing cycle, this could take up to two billing cycles to finalize. Your deposit if there is one, will automatically be applied to your closing bill (unless otherwise specified.)

If an amount is left unpaid on the account, the overdue amount plus fees will first be deducted from the members Capital Credit Allocation account if available. If there is still a balance due, unpaid bills will be turned over to a collection agency.

Please make sure we have a correct forwarding address to ensure the bill is sent to the proper place. You will also need to make sure and keep your contact information with us current after you have closed your account. Capital credit retirements may be made in the future, and we will need to know where to send the money.

* Remember your electricity bill is based on the electricity you've already used from the previous month.

Unused Meters

Lane-Scott does not charge to disconnect a service. When a member abandons a service location or request to disconnect their service, the cooperative reserves the right to remove infrastructure after 6 months of non-use. This may include removing the meter, poles, transformers, conductor, or any equipment. 

Idle Service

Lane-Scott offers an idle service rate to all disconnected and de-energized services. Payment for idle service is $31.50 per month.
