Increase or reduce power
If you’re working at a large commercial property or business which has an existing electricity connection (69 kVA or higher) and require additional power, we’re here to help guide you through the process.

You might need this service if you are:
- Installing new equipment at a commercial property or business such as new machinery for an industrial unit
- Dividing a building into multiple units which require separate electricity connections

Do you need to reduce your power?
If your electricity needs have reduced, you may be able to lower your agreed electricity capacity. This can help ensure your connection reflects your current requirements and avoids paying for capacity you no longer need. We'll explain what changing your capacity involves, the options available to you, and how to apply.
