What's different here

Palo Alto Utilities Application Quirks

  • 01

    CPAU has its own electric service requirements document; PG&E paperwork is not accepted.

  • 02

    Many Palo Alto services are underground, which raises the odds of trenching and conduit work in the scope.

  • 03

    Multiple EV charger applications on one property need load allocation planned before the first submittal.

  • 04

    Panel and meter relocations frequently require a site meeting with a CPAU field engineer.
