Why Milbank Enclosed Controls Are a Smart Choice for Utility-Approved Power Distribution in New York and New Jersey

When it comes to utility-approved power distribution in New York and New Jersey, few things matter more than reliability, compliance and resilience. That’s why Milbank Enclosed Controls, now utility-approved in both New York and New Jersey, are a game-changer for contractors, utilities and developers. They’re all operating in a region where power distribution for harsh climates is imperative, and nobody understands that more than Milbank.

From extreme weather to complex code requirements, power distribution enclosures in the Northeast present a unique set of challenges to any power project. Milbank’s Enclosed Controls are designed to meet these challenges head-on, offering a secure, scalable and utility-approved solution built for real-world conditions.

Utility-Approved Power Distribution in New York and New Jersey

If you’re powering projects in the Empire or Garden State, utility approval isn’t optional—it’s essential. We have utility approvals with:

• Con Edison
• PSEG Long Island
• PSEG NJ

Depending on the utility specifications, metered and unmetered power distribution is a major factor in approval. This is where we come in with our metering expertise spanning nearly a century. Milbank’s Enclosed Controls are recognized and approved by major utility providers in both states, meaning our products:

• Comply with regional utility specifications.
• Help streamline the permitting and inspection process.
• Reduce costly project delays and change orders.

That utility stamp of approval saves time, boosts confidence and ensures you’re choosing a product that’s already vetted and trusted by the region’s largest energy providers. The New York and New Jersey region experiences it all: nor’easters, heat waves, salty coastal air and high humidity. Finding power distribution for harsh climates that stands up to every season is crucial.

Our custom enclosed controls cabinets are designed with NEMA 3R-rated enclosures, protecting internal components from snow, rain, and airborne debris. We use high-quality, weather-resistant materials that help:

• Prevent rust and corrosion.
• Ensure long-term safety and performance.
• Maintain structural integrity even in extreme temperatures.
• Reduce maintenance costs over time.

“Every detail of our cabinet design from material selection to venting and sealing, is intentional. It’s about creating a long-lasting solution that stands up to rust, corrosion, and temperature extremes, especially in places like New York and New Jersey where those challenges are constant,” Mindy Dohrman, Product Manager, Enclosed Controls.
