Ordinances, regulations, and policies concerning temporary underground power panels.
Text — 2026 Florida Statutes
(1) A county may not enact any ordinance, regulation, or policy that prevents or has the effect of preventing an electric utility, as defined in s. 366.02(4), from installing a temporary underground power panel if the temporary underground power panel meets the requirements of Article 590 of the National Electrical Code, 2020 edition, during the construction and installation of the temporary underground power panel. After the county has conducted an inspection of the temporary underground power panel, the county may not require a subsequent inspection of the temporary underground power panel as a condition of issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
(2) As used in this section, the term “temporary underground power panel” means a permanent meter base that includes a meter socket, meter, and downpipe, to which power is provided through an underground service line by an electric utility pursuant to its tariffs or service standards, that is permanently attached to a block residential structure, provides temporary power for construction of the residential structure, and is intended for use in providing permanent service to the residential structure upon issuance of the certificate of occupancy.
