an application. Once your application is received, a Customer Service
Representative will open an account for you.
NEW ELECTRIC
SERVICE
When applying for electric service, we require a $20.00 membership fee.
The membership fee establishes you as a member-owner of Petit Jean Electric
Cooperative.
In addition, a
security deposit may be charged. Petit Jean's standard deposit is $200.00
for residential accounts and is payable in two equal installments -
one payment upon application and one payment on your first month's bill.
The security deposit will accrue interest as approved by the Arkansas
Public Service Commission and will be refunded plus interest as a credit
on your bill after a one-year period of good payment record.
Security deposits
may be waived by providing one of the following items:
- A letter of
good credit from your previous electric utility.
- A present member
of Petit Jean Electric can guarantee payment of your account. The
third party must have received service for at least one year from
Petit Jean Electric, with a good credit standing and sign a Third
Party Guarantee.
- By having previously
received electric service from Petit Jean Electric and maintained
a timely payment record.
Prospective members
wanting to open new accounts are expected to provide a meter
number (or the current occupant’s account number)
and picture identification. The meter number is the
eight digit number [no letters] inscribed on the meter inside the glass/plastic
globe. Having this information expedites processing a new account since
the relatively new “911 Address System” (and thus the reliability
of consistent address information it provides system-wide) has not yet
been fully integrated into our computer system.”
Should you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Petit Jean Electric
at 501-745-2493 (Clinton) or 870-448-3477 (Marshall).
