Cost, time and what's involved

Adding more power

If you’re working at a large commercial property or business which has existing electricity connection (over 70 kVA) and you need to add more power, we’re here to help you gain an understanding of the steps involved.

If you're not sure where to begin or if you'd like to explore your options, we offer pre-application support tools. These include our Open Data Portal, Technical Design Specifications library (G81), and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

If you already have a clear idea of what you need, simply submit an online application and we'll work with you to provide the most suitable and cost-effective solution. 

Cost and time

The cost and timing of each project can vary depending on several factors. Since each project is unique, we're unable to provide an exact price or time frames online. The cost and time is determined on the specific work required. Therefore, the price will be provided once we receive and review your application and, in some instances, we may need to visit you first to provide you with an accurate quotation.
