Fees and Charges
Security Deposit
When setting up your new electrical service, some fees and charges may be incurred. A refundable security deposit may be required by Maritime Electric and can range from a minimum of $100 to a maximum of two months billing. Interest will be paid on your deposit.
Connection Fees
Connection fees will be charged for most initial service connections including metered temporary facilities. If the connection is not within Maritime Electric's regular business hours, additional charges may be applied. If serving your electrical entrance requires an extension of overhead, underground or optional facilities, you may incur additional charges.

Service Charge/Demand Charge
All residential customers and most churches and farms are billed a service charge. The service charge covers the cost of the equipment and the maintenance to that equipment. Commercial Customers may be billed a demand charge. The demand charge is based on a measure of the maximum amount of energy required during any 15 minute interval in a month. Customers with high demands require more costly transformers, meters, lines and more generation capacity to provide the electricity to serve their maximum loads at any time. The energy charge is a rate applied to the kilowatt hours consumed. This charge is primarily related to the cost of generated or purchased energy.
