General Information

This section is for our electricity network consumers and contains important information on getting connected for distributed solar generation, our line prices and our connection application for any new or altered connections.  It’s also important for our consumers to peruse the cable location section especially if you’re contemplating digging in or around your property and need to know where the power cables are located.

Contractors needing to apply for a “Close Approach” Permit are to read the new section below and complete the Permit before commencing work near overhead live power lines.
