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.
What to include with your application
-
A site plan
Provides us with an understanding of your work site, the location of existing and new assets and help us to design your product. It will need to include:
- Your property
- Neighbouring properties
- The location of the supply point
Site plan for moving or removing high or low voltage cables
For a site plan to be accepted, it must clearly show:
- the proposed pillar location in a visible colour on the site plan
- the street name on which the property borders
- the full address of the property
- the nearest intersection (for rural properties it helps to locate the site)
Sometimes an easement will be required if the cable will be running through private property - we'll let you know if this is the case.
Your cables need to be installed within 0-500mm alignment from the property boundary.
The minimum depth is 850mm, or 1200mm if in private property.
Cables out of alignment need physical protection installed.
