Pole Attachment Services
Welcome!
Joint Use of Plant (JUOP) provides a single point of contact for all who wish to establish access to NYSEG infrastructure.
JUOP is responsible for:
- Attachment agreements*
- Surveys of existing attachments
- Oversight of billing and collections for all the above services
*Please be aware that many utility poles are jointly owned by both NYSEG and the telephone company, and therefore approval for the installation must also be obtained from the telephone company servicing your area before installation is undertaken. Please contact the appropriate telephone company regarding its policies or requirements for pole attachments.

Get Started:
- Temporary Banner Attachment Licensing Process
All decorative attachments to utility poles require NYSEG prior written approval. Licenses for decorative temporary attachments, such as seasonal lighting and other temporary attachments (flags, banners, etc.) will be issued, without a fee, provided all requirements have been met.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ATTACHMENTS FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES AND SIGNS POSTED BY INDIVIDUALS ARE PROHIBITED. Any attachments that have not been licensed or are deemed to be unsafe may be disconnected or removed.
There is no charge for the License Agreement. However, if an electrical connection is needed, a connection fee is required for all new electric services and the applicant will be responsible for energy usage.
