Temporary power poles.
Permit to power, handled.
Need construction power on a new build, ADU or remodel? GDV Utilities installs temporary power poles with 100A or 200A panels and handles everything: the permit, utility coordination, installation and inspection.
What's included
Crews and equipment scaled to the job, from a single crew to multi-crew programs.
100A or 200A panels
Temporary power poles with a 100A or 200A panel sized for the job, from small remodels and ADUs to new homes and commercial sites.
Complete pole package
New pole, panel, meter base and hardware supplied and installed as one complete package.
Permit and paperwork
We pull the electrical permit and prepare the paperwork the city and the utility require.
Utility coordination
We submit the service request and work with the serving utility on the service location and approval.
Installation and inspection
Our crew sets and wires the pole and meets the inspector, so the site is ready for the utility to energize.
Pole removal
When permanent power is on, we remove the pole. Removal is quoted with your initial estimate, and that price is good for 1 year.

Common questions
How long does it take to get a temporary power pole installed?
Installation is typically 3 to 5 business days after the permit is issued and the utility approves the service location. Meter installation and energization are scheduled by the utility and are not part of our installation schedule.
Do you handle the permit and the utility?
Yes. We handle everything: the electrical permit, the utility service request, installation and the inspection. Permit fees are not included in our quote; they are priced separately after the job is signed.
What panel sizes do you offer?
Our temporary power poles come with a 100A or 200A panel. If you're not sure which you need, tell us what will run on site and we'll recommend the right size.
What utilities do you install temporary power for?
We install temporary power for all utilities in California, Arizona and Nevada, including SCE, LADWP, PG&E, SDG&E, IID, APS, SRP, TEP and NV Energy.
Do you remove the pole when the job is done?
Yes. We remove the pole once your permanent service is on. We can quote a rental or a purchase option for your temporary power pole, so you can choose what fits the length of your project.
How much does a temporary power pole cost?
Pricing depends on panel size, the serving utility and the site. Request a quote with your job site address and we'll send a firm price. Permit fees are not included in our quote; they are priced separately after the job is signed.
