  Precal (DGN)

  Payment guarantee

  A payment guarantee gives us permission to deal with your design organisation, and is your agreement to pay the associated fees for the Design Information Package and Design Conformance Review if your project does not proceed. Download the payment guarantee template.

  Concept plan, including stage timing

  A concept plan provides us with a view of the subdivision, the scale of the project and nature of the proposed electrical network. Together with stage timing information, we can undertake planning assessments and produce a Design Information Package(DIP). See example of HV concept plan.

  Load breakdown

  Your load breakdown allows us to assess the impact your project will have on the network. It also allows us to apply the appropriate charging policy. See example load breakdown.
