Goleta's significant rental and multifamily housing stock near UCSB creates strong demand for shared EV charging. We design and install charging systems for apartment complexes that balance resident access, load management, and property owner investment — our EPC model handles everything from feasibility to commissioning.
Utility Coordination
Goleta straddles the SCE and PG&E service territories, which can complicate interconnection and permitting. We know which utility serves which area and navigate the specific requirements of each, saving our clients the confusion of dealing with utility boundaries.

Goleta's Tech-Forward Electrical Landscape
Goleta has transformed from a quiet agricultural community into one of the Central Coast's most dynamic cities. The tech corridor along Hollister Avenue houses companies in aerospace, defense, biotech, and software development — industries that demand sophisticated electrical infrastructure. Data rooms need redundant power with clean grounding, lab spaces require isolated circuits for sensitive instruments, and modern open-plan offices need flexible power distribution that can adapt as companies grow and reconfigure.
The residential side of Goleta is equally dynamic. New development projects near the Camino Real Marketplace and along Storke Road are adding hundreds of housing units, each needing modern electrical systems with provisions for EV charging, solar readiness, and high-bandwidth connectivity. These newer builds contrast with the established neighborhoods in Old Town Goleta, where homes from the 1950s and 1960s need panel upgrades and rewiring to meet contemporary demands.
One unique aspect of working in Goleta is the utility boundary situation. Parts of the city are served by Southern California Edison while others fall within Pacific Gas & Electric's territory. This affects everything from interconnection applications for EV chargers and solar to the available rebate programs. DCP Electric navigates these boundaries routinely, ensuring that every project follows the correct utility's procedures and takes advantage of all available incentives regardless of which side of the boundary the property falls on.
