Electric Service

Leavenworth Jefferson Electric Cooperative (LJEC) is a electric distribution cooperative serving our members in northeast Kansas. LJEC distributes electricity; we do not generate our own. LJEC purchases our power through Kansas Electric Power Cooperative (KEPCo).

If you need to have new service connected or transfer an existing service into your name, you'll need to do the following:

• Complete an Application for Service for each meter, and
• Include a $25 service connect fee for each meter, plus
• Include the meter security deposit
• The security deposit may be reduced or waived with your good credit score or a positive letter of credit from a previous electric provider.
• The application and fees must be in our office at least three business days prior to connection or transfer.
• If applicable, the former account holder should call our office to OK an account transfer.
• Renters may be required to provide a signed rental agreement.
• Photo identification may be required.

Security Deposits

The security deposit for residential service will range from $250 or 2 months (expected) bills. Commercial deposits are based on estimated usage. The deposit may be reduced or waived depending on your credit score and/or a positive letter of credit from a former electric provider.

Security deposits are credited to the final bill or may be credited to a regular bill after 12 consecutive months of payments by the due date.

For newly constructed homes or buildings, an aid-in-construction contribution must be paid prior to the building of electrical facilities. This aid-in-construction contribution starts at $100, but will vary depending on the cost of construction and cooperative contribution.
