Reducing your power
If your business or property no longer requires its current power capacity, we can help you reduce it and potentially lower your ongoing energy costs.
Is this the right service for you?
You might need this if you are:
- Using less electricity than you used to - Your current power capacity may be higher than what your property or business needs.
- Downsizing your business or operations - You've reduced your workspace, workforce, equipment or activities and no longer need the same level of supply.
- Removing electrical equipment - Machinery, heating systems, charging points or other high-demand equipment have been removed from your site.
- Looking to match your supply to your current needs - You want your electricity connection and metering arrangement to better reflect how much power you actually use today.

Reducing your power capacity
If your business or property's electricity requirements have reduced, you may no longer need your current supply capacity.
There are two ways to reduce your capacity, depending on your circumstances:
- Reduce your agreed capacity and keep your existing CT (Current Transformer) metering arrangement by updating your connection agreement.
- Reduce your capacity and move to a standard meter if your electricity requirements have fallen to 100A or below and CT (Current Transformer) metering is no longer needed.
Not sure which option is right for you? The information below explains the key differences and what to consider before making a decision.
