By submitting this application for electrical service, you are entering into a binding contract with Maritime Electric for the provision of electrical service.
The regular connection fee is $42.44 plus applicable taxes and it is applied to your first month’s electricity bill.
Customers with less than one consecutive year of payment history or unsatisfactory payment are required to pay a security deposit. A security deposit is to be paid before service is provided. The deposit amounts are the greater of two average months’ estimated billing or $100. This can be paid at any of our authorized payment centres. You must supply your Account number (NOT confirmation number) to remit payment. The deposits for residential accounts are as follows:
House - $150
Duplex - $150
Apartment - $100
Electrically heated - $300
If you have less than one consecutive year of payment history with Maritime Electric, you may provide a credit reference from another electric utility substantiating a history of no arrears in the most recent 12 consecutive month period on the account in their name to avoid paying a security deposit. Interest is paid for cash deposits. The interest rate for a cash deposit is set at the beginning of the calendar month in which it is received. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of prime less 1% where prime is defined as the rate on the last day of the prior month as published by the Canadian Financial Institution with whom the utility conducts its daily banking services. Interest on all cash security deposits is compounded monthly as long as any portion of the deposit remains.
Please select a date on the calendar above.
