    Utility coordination: Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative (GVEC). GVEC's service territory map places New Berlin inside GVEC's service area. GVEC's commercial checklist starts with the owner getting zoning, survey and city permits, then sending a commercial request for information with expected load and voltage needs. GVEC builds the line and metering, the owner's electrician builds the secondary service, and GVEC energizes after the city confirms the inspection passed.
