Starting Service

You can open an account with Taylor County RECC by visiting our office at 625 West Main Street, Campbellsville, KY.  When you are requesting service, please provide the following information:

  • Meter number (Located on aluminum tag on meter face)
  • Name of previous occupant
  • Name of nearest neighbor

If you plan to increase your service capacity, add electric heat, central air, add new services such as homes, barns, mobile homes, and camps, you should contact the Cooperative’s engineering department in advance. It is possible that the existing transformer may not be able to carry the added load. It is very important that the engineers be notified in advance due to costs that may be involved and work scheduling.

Memberships

Each prospective consumer desiring electric service shall be required to sign the Cooperative’s standard form of application for membership and any supplemental contract required by the Cooperative before service is supplied.

Application for Membership

Deposits

A deposit is required for any member or customer before electric service will be supplied. Consumer deposits shall be based upon actual usage history at the service location for the most recent 12 month period, if such information is available. The deposit amount shall not exceed 2/12 of the location’s actual or estimated annual bill. Accounts disconnected for nonpayment are subject to a deposit before service can be restored.

Deposits will be returned after two (2) years if the customer has established a satisfactory payment record for that period and the customer requests the refund.

Residential deposits retained for more than eighteen (18) months will be recalculated based on actual usage, upon the consumer’s request.

If recalculated, and the deposit on account differs by more than ten (10) dollars from the deposits calculated on actual usage, the Cooperative shall refund any over-collection and may collect any underpayment. Refunding may be made by check or by credit to the consumer’s bill.

Inspections

The Cooperative shall comply with state and local codes, rules and regulations regarding inspections. A new home is required by law to have the wiring inspected before the electricity can be turned on.
