Your facility’s next step may depend on an electrical upgrade. KRA Construction coordinates commercial and industrial power projects—from planning and utility requirements to installation, testing, and final power release.
New equipment should come with a plan for the power it needs.
A power upgrade is more than an equipment installation. Design decisions, utility requirements, permits, inspections, and construction have to come together before the new service can be used. Whether your project involves DWP or Edison, KRA helps manage those connected stages so you can discuss your facility’s needs as one coordinated scope.
Start with the facility’s existing service and the demands of the proposed operation. KRA develops electrical upgrade plans around project requirements, applicable codes, and utility criteria. Equipment information and available drawings help make the initial discussion more productive.
02
DWP & Edison coordination
Utility coordination is a central part of the work. KRA works with the power provider on its requirements and approval process. Identify your utility and share correspondence already received so the team can understand the project’s current position.
03
Permits, inspections & documentation
The construction and administrative steps need to move together. KRA’s power-upgrade scope includes permit handling, inspection coordination, and documentation associated with the work, with requirements determined by the actual project.
04
Installation & testing
The proposed system must be installed and checked as part of the approved scope. KRA’s electrical team performs equipment installation and testing, connecting the plans with the physical work at the property.
05
Overhead & underground services
KRA handles overhead service work up to 800 amps, indoor and outdoor underground services of 1,000 amps and above, and indoor customer stations. These are service capabilities, not a recommendation for every property; design and utility review determine the appropriate arrangement.
06
Final release of power
Installation is a milestone, but the job also involves the steps leading to utility power release. KRA’s service extends through that coordination. Utility scheduling and approval requirements remain important dependencies when discussing the target completion date.

PLAN FOR WHAT MATTERS
Discuss downtime before it becomes a scheduling problem.
Tell us which equipment must keep running, when the facility can accommodate interruptions, and whether new machinery has an expected arrival date. Those operating constraints help frame the work. A target date should be discussed alongside utility requirements and inspection dependencies rather than treated as an installation-only decision.
Discuss the property, your intended outcome, and the information already available. Establish what needs to be clarified before the scope moves forward.
02 / TEAM
Coordinate the details
Bring design, field work, and the relevant project specialists into the planning process. Consider how construction, approvals, and your operating needs fit together.
03 / EXECUTE
Build with purpose
Carry the agreed scope into the work, with attention to sequencing, progress, and the finished details that matter to the property’s use.
BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Questions worth asking early.
Do you coordinate with DWP and Edison?
Yes. KRA’s power-upgrade offering specifically includes coordination with DWP and Edison. Include your provider and any utility project information in your inquiry.
How do I know how much capacity I need?
The answer depends on the facility and its electrical demands. Share equipment specifications, available load information, and existing service details for review. The right capacity should come from project-specific planning.
Is final utility power release included in the process?
KRA’s service includes coordination through final power release, alongside planning, permits, installation, and testing. Utility approvals and scheduling still affect when the service becomes available.
What should I include in my first message?
Include the property address, utility provider, current service size if known, proposed equipment or capacity needs, and timing. You can start the conversation even if some of those details are not yet available.
