County, lot, and neighborhood information (if the home is new)
Home phone

We can connect your electric service Monday through Friday (service connection is not available on weekends). If you submit your order by midnight, it will be eligible to be connected the next day (unless it’s a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, then it will be eligible to be connected the following Monday). Please note that we will not be able to provide next day service for new service requests requiring installation or other construction work (digging, etc.).
Do I have to pay a deposit when I apply for new service?
We determine whether a deposit is necessary by performing a credit check through Equifax. If you have not yet established credit with us, you may be required to pay a security deposit. If you are required to pay a deposit on your residential account, you are eligible for a refund once you make the payments on time for 12 consecutive months. The refund will consist of the deposit amount and the interest acquired over the 12 months. The refund will be applied as a credit to your account.
How is the amount of my deposit determined?
If required, the deposit amount for a residential account is twice the average monthly bill of the residence.
Is there any way to avoid paying a deposit?
If a deposit is required, you do have the option of having a guarantor sign with you. The eligibility of guarantor is determined by the following:
Must have been an Alabama Power Customer for at least 12 consecutive months.
Must be an Alabama Power customer that pays on time each month and has “A” credit, which means no disconnect notices or late payments in the previous 12 months.
If you want to continue with this option, you and the person signing as your guarantor must come into your local Alabama Power office with your picture IDs.
Are there any connection fees?
Yes - an account establishment charge (AEC) of $40.00 will be included on your first month's bill.
How is the amount of my bill determined?
The amount of your bill is determined by the number of kilowatt-hours you’ve used over the past month. We determine the number of kilowatt-hours used monthly by reading your power meter. We then multiply your monthly usage by your billing rate to calculate your bill amount.
The basic unit of electricity is called a watt. One watt is such a small amount of power, however, that the more commonly used measurement is the kilowatt, representing 1,000 watts. The higher the watt or kilowatt rating of a particular electrical device, the more electricity it requires.
The amount of electricity a customer uses over a period of time is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Kilowatt-hours are determined by multiplying the number of kilowatts required by the number of hours of use. For example, if you use a 60-watt light bulb 5 hours a day for 30 days, you have used 60 watts of power for 150 hours, or 9 kilowatt-hours of electrical energy.
However, electricity use varies widely depending on the season and the size of your home, which is why your meter is checked before a bill is generated.
