In Peabody the wires belong to the city. Any electric service upgrade or modification requires a service application to the Peabody Municipal Light Plant's engineering department, and PMLP will not energize a service until the City Electrical Inspector's approval has been received. Lead time is the thing homeowners do not expect: PMLP asks for the completed, signed application at least 16 weeks before the requested installation date for permanent service, and 26 weeks where underground primary is required. Overhead has hard limits too — secondary service spans cannot exceed 125 feet, and a 120/240-volt overhead service is capped at 400 amps, above which the service must be built underground.

PMLP's service application states the completed and signed form must be received at least 16 weeks before the requested installation date for permanent service, or 26 weeks if underground primary is required, and that longer lead times may be required for large projects or transformer delivery schedules.
PMLP's Electrical Service Installations Handbook states that any electric service upgrade will be conveyed to PMLP Engineering for system design and load calculations, that any service modified in any way requires a service application, that PMLP reserves the right to require a meter to be relocated if the service is being modified or updated, and that the contractor or owner must sign a service agreement, pay the service connection fee and deposit, and obtain City or Town Electrical Inspector approval before PMLP will energize the permanent service.
PMLP's handbook sets maximum overhead service ratings of 400 A at 120/240 V, 600 A at 120/208 V and 400 A at 277/480 V, states that anything greater must be built as an underground service, and limits overhead secondary service spans to 125 feet.
PMLP makes overhead extensions to its existing facilities free of charge where the extension averages less than 150 feet per applicant, including one pole per applicant. For new services, service upgrades or significant load increases requiring larger transformer capacity, PMLP assesses a service fee based on the current market value of the new transformer.
