Nearly 40 years ago,
Power Plus set its first
temp power pole.
for temp power solutions.
Temporary power isn’t a box we check at Power Plus — it’s the backbone of our Construction Services division. It’s how we got started. It’s what we’re known for. And it’s where we solve some of the most overlooked – and underestimated – problems any construction project faces every day. Every hour.
Overhead or underground,
we meet all your temp power needs.
For our experienced crews, temporary power solutions aren’t just about getting a temporary power pole installed or getting juice to your trailer. They’re about keeping your crews productive, inspections moving, trades happy, and your build on schedule.
So to design your temporary electrical service, we start with questions like these:
- How much power will your job site need?
- Can you share an architectural site plan?
- What is your phasing schedule?
Once we understand your jobsite’s power requirements, we design-build temporary power services specifically for the job you’re actually doing — not the one on the drawing board. Then we bring the crew, trucks, temporary power poles, electrical equipment, and experience to install your temporary service — to code, to spec, and on schedule.
Temporary Solutions.
With Staying Power.
Most electricians don’t love temp power or overhead power lines. It’s not their primary focus, often a thankless job, and requires gear they don’t normally carry.
That’s where Power Plus comes in.
We’ve built a temporary power team, fleet, equipment and process around doing the job better, faster, and smarter than anyone else — with a level of customer service that everyone at Power Plus takes personal pride in.
From designing your full temp power system to pulling permits, handling your temporary power installation to engineering around red tape, inaccessible power sources, and utility coordination — we always handle the full picture. Even the unexpected stuff. Especially the unexpected stuff.
Overhead or Underground, We’ve Engineered It All.
Some jobs call for overhead temp power. Others require underground. Some cities insist on one or the other. Sometimes your subcontractors or inspectors have strong opinions about both. We’ve seen it all — and solved it all.
Power Plus is one of the few temporary power companies that can engineer either approach — smartly, safely, and to code.
Overhead Power Solutions
Fast, flexible, and efficient, overhead temp power is the go-to solution in California and other southwestern states for getting your site energized and your crews working.
Driving Power Plus trucks that we design specifically for installing a temporary power pole, our expert crews show up with augers, temporary utility poles, wire, and a plan tailored to your site layout, load needs, and inspection timelines. No matter what you’re building, we always engineer clean, code-compliant systems that pass inspection the first time, so your timelines stay on track.
And when your job evolves – new phases, new pads, changing access points – our overhead temporary power pole plan evolves with it. No excuses. Just reliable temporary power.
Underground Power Solutions
Because underground temp power typically costs 60% more than the overhead option, it’s not always the desired approach. But when an overhead temp power pole rental isn’t an option, or isn’t allowed, Power Plus knows how to distribute subterranean power — and do it right.
Underground utility installation services – whether they’re temporary or permanent – are often required by AHJs (“Authority Having Jurisdiction”) or preferred for clean aesthetics and long-term development sequencing. Either way, we manage it all:
- Conduit & Wire Pull
- Burial Depth Specs
- Utility Coordination
Power Plus will navigate every AHJ nuance, so you don’t get slowed down by red tape or inspection fails. And if your job site throws you a curve – like rocky soil, tight access, or last-minute redesigns – we adjust to keep you powered and productive.

Single-line diagrams when you need them, tailored to your job's layout and load.
How Do I Get Temporary Power to My Construction Site?
Medium Voltage for Longer Distances
For those times when your job needs to push power further than the grid or even roads allow, Power Plus is still the only call you need to make. We can design and install an overhead, medium voltage permanent or temporary power supply for construction sites – or other scenarios like military bases, schools, or public works – where utility access is far from the work zone.
Typically, we run 4 kV to 12 kV overhead line solutions but can install up to 33 kV lines. All delivering reliable, code-compliant voltage over long distances — with no overheating, no voltage drop, no mid-line failures, and no additional medium voltage contractors needed.
