> After ComEd receives confirmation that the project has passed municipal inspection, it can take anywhere from 6 to 18 weeks to complete the permanent residential electric service and up to 6 months for a permanent industrial electric service, depending on the amount of work required.

6 month turnaround sounds pretty weak.

Six months for "permanent industrial electric service" sounds pretty reasonable, actually.

[conradev]

Oh, yes, I misread. 6-18 weeks still is a high enough barrier to drive a lot of people away.

[sanderjd]

The residential one seems a bit high, but the industrial one doesn't seem crazy to me.

[conradev]

Yep, very reasonable

If 6-18 weeks turns you off from an investment that will fully pay itself off in 5-10 years, what are you even doing?

How long do you expect it to take?

Related: I've been trying to get my electric company to register the meters they installed in August so I can get billed properly. It's been months of back and forth. I just want to pay them money for electricity, it's all I want from them.

Had a similar situation back in 2018/2019. Electric company offered a flat rate for electric vehicle charging but you needed to install a second meter. Took them forever to install the actual meter (it had been jumped by the electricians and covered by cardboard) and then months of not being billed for it.

California can permit standard residential installations same-day with SolarAPP+

That's fantastic, I wish simple things could be permitted that fast here. It takes weeks for simple stuff to get approved here.
