Electric Utility Design Criteria

Austin Energy Design Criteria is a set of guidelines, definitions, and descriptions for the design and installation of electric facilities that will be served by Austin Energy. This includes any residential or commercial building project.

Specific design requirements and final approval of any installation must be coordinated directly with AE’s Offices of Distribution Engineering Design:

Accuracy of Manual
We make every effort to be accurate in displaying the Electric Utility Design Criteria Manual online. In case of conflict, the official manual on file with the Austin City Clerk's office takes precedence.
