Account ServicesStart-Up Kit for Non-Residential Customers
Opening a LIPA business account? Here’s a quick and easy checklist to make sure you have all the things you need to get started. We need some important items to initiate electric service and open your LIPA electric account.
Save time and help us serve you better. You will need:
 |
A completed
Application for
Service
signed by an Owner, or if a Corporation, an Officer of
the Corporation. |
|
|
An “Electric Load Letter” or an estimate of your
anticipated monthly electrical use. A Load Letter can be
obtained from a licensed electrician and provides a list
of the equipment used by your business, and the amount
of electricity used by each piece of equipment. When we
understand how much electricity your business will use
each month, we can ensure we assign the best rate for
your business needs. |
|
|
A Corporate Seal if your business is a corporation;
or certification documents if you’re a Sole
Proprietorship, Partnership or LLC. |
|
|
All Non-Residential Customers are required to pay a
deposit. Please call our Business Call Center at
1-800-966-4818 to determine your deposit amount. All deposits must be in cash, bank check or money
order. |
|
|
A Sales Tax Exemption Certificate if you are tax
exempt. |
|
|
For places of worship, state certification as a
religious entity and a Sales Tax Exemption certificate
is required. |
|
|
Call our Business Call Center at 1-800-966-4818 to confirm you have everything you will need before you go to a LIPA Customer Service Center to open your account. |
Once you have all the required documents, visit us at one of our Customer Service Centers. We will process your application and provide a Welcome Package which contains all the information you’ll need to help you be successful in your business.
