Commercial, industrial & developer new connections greater than 100amps
You have different requirements than most regarding your power. Below, we have the information you need to start your connection offer.
Please Note. We're currently experiencing delays with transformer deliveries. To minimize any impact on your project schedule, please inform us as soon as possible if your project requires a transformer. This will allow us to discuss early procurement of these long lead time items.
Due to the technical nature of the information we need, we recommend you have an electrician or electrical consultant complete the application on your behalf.

If the work is standard or you cannot do the work in isolation to our network, then we undertake all the design and construction work you require to connect you to our network.
For more information, read our Construction Terms (non-contestable and contestable) 1036KB PDF.
This is only for the extension component of the design and construction work built in isolation to our existing network. Choosing this approach in your connection offer means you have chosen to have an accredited external consultant or contractor (design and/or construction) to undertake this work.
Our project officer will issue the relevant specifications to you or your consultant, who will need to contract for a design and submit it to confirm compliance to our technical standards.
Once we approve the design, we will provide an Authority to Proceed (ATP) to your consultant or contractor to begin construction. During this, there will be further compliance checks before energisation so we can safely connect it to our network.
You should be aware that the works required to facilitate your connection will be non-contestable and we must carry out this task.
For more information, read our Construction Terms (non-contestable and contestable) 1036KB PDF.
