Timescales

Each project requires a different level of design work. Below is an indication of when we will issue you with your quotation following receipt of all information required:

We will contact you within 7 days following receipt of your signed acceptance and relevant payment; we will normally aim to start your works within 8 weeks, however, if plant (e.g. substation equipment) is required this may increase to 16 weeks. Timescales may also vary if land agreements or road opening notices need to be obtained.

We are committed to delivering your project on time and would ask you to consider the above timescales when planning your project.

Delivery

Our Project Manager will discuss and provide advice on the delivery of your project prior to our Delivery team arriving to carry out our works.  Typically we need the following prepared prior to our works commencing:

• Provide a lockfast and watertight housing
• Install a suitable duct
• Secure a board at the meter location
• Ensure the proposed cable route is clear of scaffolding or other obstructions

Guaranteed Standards

Guaranteed Standards were introduced by our Regulator, Ofgem, to ensure that all customers sourcing connections are provided with a good level of service. For information regarding the Guaranteed Standards that apply to your project please click here.

Metering

We do not install meters at your property, your nominated Electricity Energy Supplier will arrange this. Upon acceptance of your quotation we will provide you with the Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) which your nominated supplier will require to establish an account and arrange the installation of your meter.
