Danvers Electric is the town's own utility - the first municipal light plant in Massachusetts, founded in 1889 - so the service rules and the paperwork come from the town rather than an investor-owned utility. Single-phase 120/240V is available for residential services up to 400 amps; a service of 0-200 amps needs a meter socket rated at least 100 amps, a 400-amp service may be fed from a padmount transformer on the customer's own property at Danvers Electric's discretion, and anything above 400 amps is decided case by case. New construction and any service of 400 amps or larger requires a Utility Work Authorization number from Danvers Electric Engineering at 1 Burroughs Street before a wiring permit can be pulled from Code Administration at 1 Sylvan Street, and Danvers Electric will not energize until Code Administration signs off on the work. Danvers Electric also pays $300 toward a Level 2 EV charger.

Danvers Electric residential service: single-phase 120/240V is available for all residential services up to 400 amperes; services over 400 amperes may require three-phase 120/208V, determined individually. For 0-200 amps a meter socket rated at a minimum of 100 amps must be installed to accommodate the revenue meter, with a 200-amp meter socket and service panel. A 400-amp large home may be fed from a padmount transformer on the customer's property at Danvers Electric's discretion. All new subdivisions must install underground electric facilities.
For new or modified electric service the customer must obtain a Utility Work Authorization number from 1 Burroughs Street or online (for services 400 amps and larger), a wiring permit from the Office of Code Administration at 1 Sylvan Street or online, pay the metering account deposit at the DPW Business Division at 2 Burroughs Street if applicable, pay any applicable Contribution Aid to Construction, and have Code Administration sign off on all work before Danvers Electric will energize the new or modified service.
The Danvers Inspectional Services electrical division reviews and grants electrical permits and schedules inspections, enforcing the Massachusetts State Electrical Code. All electrical work must be completed by a licensed electrician and inspections can only be made by the licensed electrician. Counter hours are Monday-Wednesday 8-9am and 1-2pm, Thursday 8-9am, 1-2pm and 5-6pm, Friday 8-9am.
Danvers Electric pays a $300 rebate for a Level 2 (240V) EV charger, and is running a pilot Residential Electric Vehicle Time of Use rate (REVTOU-1) anticipated to begin in Q2 2026, with on-peak hours of 12:00pm-7:00pm Monday-Friday on non-holidays, a required 12-month commitment, and a stated potential saving of about 21 percent versus the standard R-1 rate for off-peak charging (or a 25 percent increase for on-peak charging).
