Construction of MEC’s fiber network began in December 2020. The goal is to bring fiber to every Mohave Electric meter, with construction in phases over approximately five years. The fiber-based network will improve reliability throughout MEC’s electrical system and provide opportunity to offer enhanced member services such as TWN’s internet service.

MEC will mail two letters. The first letter is mailed to the property owner, and the second letter is mailed to the MEC member. In some cases, this will be the same person/s.

Generally, the wires for fiber will follow the path of your current MEC electric service.

Underground: If the MEC wires run underground, the fiber wires will run underground, as well. If you have private underground lines, we will need your help to locate these lines. Examples of these private underground lines are irrigation sprinklers, gas BBQ, landscape lighting, pool equipment, or other private underground systems. Please collect any information you may have for the location of these private underground lines.

Overhead/Aerial: If the wires for your MEC electric service are overhead, the crews will generally follow that same path. See illustration below:

In some cases, yes if you have underground utilities, the new fiber cables will be underground as well. TWN will make every attempt to ensure these disturbances are minimal and as non-intrusive as possible.

No, you don’t need a fiber drop for each structure. We will plan for one drop per property, normally on the main structure like a home or business, unless otherwise requested.

In order to bring MEC’s fiber to each meter, there may be a small junction box, or NID attached near the meter location.

For members who choose to subscribe to TWN’s broadband services, TWN will install a modem (ONT) and wifi router inside the home or business.

MEC members pay no installation fee for standard business/residential internet installations.

There are no equipment rental fees with TWN internet service.

Residential and business plans will be offered as service becomes available. See “Why Choose TWN Internet” for more information.
