Adding more power
Redesigning, upgrading or carrying out work that needs more power? Find our what's involved and get a cost estimate.
Is this the right service for you?
You might need this if you are:
- Installing low carbon technology such as an electric vehicle (EV) charger or heat pump
- Upgrading an overhead supply to an underground connection
- Carrying out building works that require more electrical capacity
- Installing high-demand equipment such as power showers or hot tubs
If you need additional power for heavy industrial or large commercial equipment, you may need our commercial service.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) we can help guide you through the process.

Do you only need a fuse upgrade?
If an electrician or installer has recommended a larger fuse size, or you are installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger, heat pump or solar panels, you may only need a free fuse upgrade rather than a full supply upgrade. If you're looking to upgrade to a smart meter, you'll need to contact your electricity supplier, the company you pay your bill to. They'll arrange this for you.
