You should provide the following information or documents:
  • Personal information about applicant and spouse (if applicable), such as: name and two last names, civil status, social security number, work and residence phone numbers, driving license number, electoral card number, work address and location. If the locale rented, information on the owner, such as: name, address and phone numbers.
     
  • Physical address of the locale where the service will be provided, with location references, if necessary.
     
  • Postal address (if different from service location).
     
  • Electric installation certificate (this document can be obtained through an expert electrician with valid license).
     
  • User permit (issued by ARPE) or the corresponding municipality.
     
  • Deposit payment (you will be informed upon applying for the service).
     
  • Document that identifies juridical person to contract, if the service will not be in the name of a person (incorporation certificate, document that constitutes a condominium association or of a merchant or special society).
     
  • Official document of the corporation, condominium association or society, which grants power to its representative to sign electric power service contract.

In these cases the cash deposit can be replaced by a bond, issued by an insurance company authorized to do business in Puerto Rico and acceptable to PREPA, or any other guarantee that PREPA considers appropriate.

When line extension is necessary or additional costs are to be incurred to provide the service, said cost will be defrayed by the client/applicant in whichever manner established by applicable PREPA rules, except if it qualifies for the Rural Electrification program without contribution.

In these cases, the client must visit the corresponding (technical) district office for additional information.

Just like the new service, with the exception that the installation certificate will only be provided if at least one year has elapsed since the last time the location had electric power service and the user permit will be provided in the following circumstances:
  • If at least one year has elapsed since the location last had service
     
  • If the use has changed
     
  • If some special restriction applies as a result of the area where it is located
     
  • If the structure has suffered modifications to segregate or add locales

The following information should be provided:

The following information should be provided:

  • Postal address where the last bill will be sent.
  • Date when you wish service to be disconnected.
  • Phone number where you can be reached.
  • Location references concerning the place where service will be disconnected (when necessary)

  Regresar al indice...Deposit Reimbursement
 
You should provide the following information or documents:
  1. Original copy of Deposit Certificate, signed on the back by the person in whose name it was expedited*. If the person in whose name the deposit was expedited has died, a declaration by the heirs must be presented or a substitute document, depending on the amount involved.
  2. Postal address where you wish to receive the reimbursement check. The reimbursement can also be carried out at the district office that corresponds to the last service, depending on the amount and as long as the person who applies for it is the one in whose name it was expedited and shows the proper identification.

* If the original certificate has been lost, the client can obtain a substitute form at any district office (Form 511).
