The cost of an electricity supply is dependent on how much power you require. In most cases, the cost will be based on what we call the Distribution Low Voltage Connection Scheme.
How long will it take?
Up to 10 business days
to respond to your application.
After our technical assessment
we’ll contact you to discuss your requirements and work with you on an expected delivery date in line with the complexity of your project.
Due to the current economic conditions, we are experiencing a high volume of distribution grid connection and relocation applications as well as seeing the delivery timeframes for some materials items significantly extended. This has resulted in longer timeframes for products and services.
It may be the view needs improving or simply that you need to increase supply for a home workshop equipment. Your electrical contractor should be able to advise you on the correct requirements for upgrading your power supply.
What to include with your application
-
Permission from your strata company (if applicable)
Before applying to upgrade your connection, strata lot owners should first seek permission from their strata company to use an allocation of the total network capacity allocated to the strata scheme.

Let us know how we went
Your feedback is important to help ensure we’re meeting your needs and expectations.
Additional information you need to know
If you’re application is in relation to subdividing your land, there are a few conditions you need to meet before you can request clearance from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) or complete your built strata development. If we have asked you to apply for a new connection in order to meet our condition(s), it’s handy for us to know if it’s linked to a subdivision so we can collate all the right information to ensure the right checks and balances are undertaken.
