Gloucester systems & permits
The City of Gloucester participates in the Mass Save Community First Partnership, 'collaborating locally with National Grid' as its electric utility for energy-efficiency and rebate programs.
Gloucester's official electrical permit fee schedule (Inspectional Services, 3 Pond Road) sets a $30.00 minimum for residential 1 & 2-family work and $50.00 commercial minimum, with service-upgrade fees of $30 for a 100-200 amp residential service (1-3 meters), $50 for 201-600 amp, feeder & panel wiring at $30, temporary service at $30, an Annual Maintenance Permit at $300, and a $50 re-inspection fee; work done without a permit is billed at 3x the permit fee.
Per the amended Massachusetts Electrical Code (527 CMR 12.00, Rule 10) as applied by the City, electrical installations 'shall not be concealed or covered from view until inspected by the inspector of wires ... within not more than 72 hours for installation after proper notice,' and the applicant must first contact Gloucester's Electrical Inspector by phone, with all inspections by appointment only.
The Gloucester Historic District Commission's design guidelines state: 'New electric panel boxes, air conditioning units, electrical transformers, solar panels and devices, ganged mailbox units, and other mechanical and electrical equipment should be located on sides of the property not visible from the street. If such concealment is impossible, however, these items should be placed to minimize visibility and designed to minimize mass and appearance.'
