This Technical Standard specifies the standard easement requirements and space allocation for a new or upgraded installation that will be a component of SA Power Networks distribution network. The Standard will assist in the design, plan preparation and lodgement process as well as clarifying the applicant's responsibilities. It also specifies the easement responsibilities for a customer whether the customer elects to be responsible for obtaining easements themselves or SA Power Networks.

The purpose of this document (Manual 21) is to outline the service offering provided by SA Power Networks for provision of public lighting services, and associated maintenance and replacement fees for ongoing management (i.e. Tariffs).

This manual (Manual 18) outlines the list of fixed and quoted fees for Connections and Ancillary Network Services. These fees have been prepared in accordance with the AER approved Regulatory Determination for SA Power Networks.

This document comprises of our regulated tariff rates, tariff mapping, metering charges and associated site charges.

This document outlines network tariff structures, assignment policies, and pricing for all customers, including:

• Residential tariffs;
• Small and Medium business tariffs;
• Large and Major business tariffs; and
• Generation.

Additionally, it provides information and pricing for Alternative Control Services, such as feeder charges and excess kVAr incentive charges.

SA Power Networks is responsible for determining the distribution loss factors (DLFs) for the connection points to its distribution network. These loss factors describe the average electrical energy losses for the electricity conveyed between the point of connection to the transmission network and the point of connection to the distribution network. The DLFs apply to all loads and embedded generators connected to the distribution network.

To see the full list of Distribution Loss Factors, visit the Australian Energy Market Operator's website.

This document has been developed to assist proponents of embedded generating system in understanding the process and requirements associated with connecting inverter energy systems greater than 30kW and all rotating generation systems to the SA Power Networks distribution network.

This document provides the contact list of external contracting companies (ie Designers/ Consultants, Electrical and Civil), which are listed by SA Power Networks, who may be able to undertake a range of services associated with the installation of the electrical infrastructure, but the list does not necessarily reflect all of the contracting companies that have suitable accreditation.

Test records for 11kV Load Switches and their associated control equipment. Associated with JSWP424.

This technical standard specifies to designers, contractors, and consultants the technical requirements for embedded generation (EG) systems where the network connection is at high voltage (HV) on SA Power Networks' distribution network.
