Temp Power

[Alwayslearningelec]

So I have a new coned(utility) service coming into new building. Running 13.2kv from coned box to utility xfrmr( about 600') then going into building/service equipment about 50' from there.

Need temporary power for building so what are my options. My thinking.

1. Use a temp generator until we get the service conductors installed then use the incoming service feeders for temp power?
2. Try to service conductors installed before temp power is needed. Not sure possible as we'd have to rely on Coned(utility) being ready.
3. Use existing power in area. Not sure there is any.

Are these my options?

How much power do you need as a temporary basis? Could get a con-x full of batteries and invertors. Add Solar to it,

Here we would just build a temp service on or at the building and have POCO supply it (normally an OH drop).
Often there is a charge for the drop especially if poles are involved.
Have you checked with Comed about a temp service ?

We would have done the same.
