Modify your business connection

If your business is growing, creating a need to increase the power supply, you'll find all the information you need below.
 

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.


Getting your connection modified

  1. 1

    Complete the application either on our web form or, if you’re a registered electrician, on REX.

  2. 2

    We will make a technical assessment. We may contact you for further information and inspect your property.

  3. 3

    We will invite your electrician to book an appointment with us and we will perform the alteration work.

If we find we don’t need to perform any tasks, for example, we don’t need to modify your connection when the retailer alters your meter, then we will cancel your application.

How long will it take?

Up to 10 business days to respond to your application.
The work may take up to 12 weeks after our technical assessment.

What do I need to apply?

  • the full address of the property
  • your billing address
  • your contact details
  • your electrician’s details
  • the National Meter Identifier (NMI) of the property, which can be found on your electricity bill from your retailer
  • a list of fixed appliances, loads and generators (if any)
  • a list of off-peak appliances and loads (if any)
  • maximum demand of the installation
  • a site plan (in CAD software format if available)
  • site photos
  • single line electrical diagram
  • Load breakdown (size, starting requirements and duty cycles)
  • Disturbing loads
  • Statement of Compliance.

What if I want to cancel my application? Is there a fee?

You may cancel your application at any time.
If you did not reach the booking stage, we will not charge you a cancellation fee. If you have reached the booking stage or have booked an appointment with us, we will charge you a cancellation fee, which you can find in our Connections & Ancillary Network Services 1107KB PDF (Manual 18).

How much will it cost?

For detailed pricing information, refer to our Connections & Ancillary Network Services 1107KB PDF (Manual 18).

Is there any more information I should know?

If you require an increase in your supply as well as a change from single phase to three phase, then all you need to do is apply to increase your supply.
