A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Your local electric utility probably has a standard form they want you to fill out. Give them a call or check their website. Here's an example from one of the electric companies in my area: http://www.connexusenergy.com/elecservice.htm
