Singing River Electric service, engineering or staking personnel will work with you and your contractor to determine the location for the point of service and metering equipment; however, we assume no responsibility to change the location of the service entrance should it be improperly installed or if our site location is not utilized.
To avoid delays, please meet with our representatives before installing your equipment. The service entrance or house power panel must be installed on exterior walls and should be placed in locations that are easily accessible to our employees for meter maintenance, reading, inspecting and removal.
When electricity is needed for building construction, Singing River Electric will connect temporary service. The temporary power pole, wiring and equipment are to be supplied by the member, or installed by your contractor, builder or electrician. We ask that temporary outlets be placed at lot lines or lot corners, where existing transformers or pedestals are located. The member must call 811 prior to digging.
A service charge is required on all temporary service accounts. A membership fee and deposit may also be required. These fees are outlined in the association’s schedule of fees and deposits, (see fees and charges)
Singing River Electric will connect only one set of service drop conductors per building except as permitted by the National Electrical Code. All meters are supplied and installed by the cooperative and remain the property of Singing River Electric.
To transfer or disconnect your service, please contact any Singing River Electric office.
Requests for electric service to new commercial, industrial accounts and subdivisions should be made to our staking technicians or engineering department. We will gladly work with you on plan design, lot layout and other specifications to provide your service.

Neighbors Helping Neighbors
Our energy assistance program enables SRE members to assist others who have difficulty paying their electric bill.
Be aware of growing phone and online payment scams targeting electric cooperative members and utility customers across the nation. Phone scammers pose as your electric cooperative, notify you that your are delinquent, and ask for immediate payment to prevent disconnection of service. They may ask you to pay over the phone or by a prepaid debit card. They even have resources to deceive you by having the caller ID display Singing River Electric. DO NOT MAKE THE REQUESTED PAYMENT. Hang up, use your SmartHub app to check your billing payment history, or call any Singing River Electric office to verify the status of your account.
Remember:
- Singing River Electric Cooperative employees do not call members to collect payment. They do not take payments at any location other than SREC's three offices. Payments are taken in person only inside the office and during regular business hours. Payments can be taken over the phone, but only when dialing one of SREC's main office locations.
- If you are unsure if you are talking to a Singing River Electric employee, hang up and call any Singing River Electric office to verify call. Do not call back the number that called you.
- Never give personal banking or credit information over the phone.
- Do not agree to meet anyone anywhere to make a SREC payment.
- Singing River Electric members can easily check payment status and pay online at singingriver.com or using the SmartHub app on any mobile device, on the www.singingriver.com website, or by calling any SREC office.
