According to the size and complexity of your electricity connection we will either require a single payment covering the full Connection Charge or we may allow you to split the charge into a number of smaller payments in line with our incidence of expenditure.
We have a simplified process should you wish to move a one off small domestic or commercial supply (up to 100A).
We will require a completed application form which includes, as a minimum:
In some instances, you may be able to self-cost the works required in Section D of the application form.
Where the self-cost section is not able to be used, for instance if you have a three phase connection or your cable will be crossing third party land, your application will be individually assessed and costs are determined in line with our Connection Charging Methodology Statements.
We have a guidance document available which provides more detail on the suitability of using section D for self-costing a meter move.
Your connection offer will reflect the cost of the works required to move your supply to the new location and will take account of;
We may move your meter from the existing to the new location in some instances. Where we are unable to move your meter, you will need to make arrangements with your supplier to move the equipment to your new meter location on the same day as we move your supply. Some suppliers may charge for this service.
Please note: NGED are unable to move smart meters. Where you have a smart meter installed, you will need to make arrangements with your supplier.
Please complete and submit an application to move your electricity supply. A guidance document is available to assist you in each step of the application form process.
When we receive your application form we will make an assessment of the works required and associated costs. If you have self-costed, we will contact you on receipt of payment to schedule a date for the works.
If we are required to provide a connection offer, we will send one within 5 working days. These are valid for 90 days and the works should normally be completed within 90 days from the date of acceptance. This is subject to change; for example, we may need to obtain permissions from third party landowners or the highways agency prior to commencing any works.
A connection offer for a single phase domestic or commercial connection will be issued within 5 working days of receiving all the information we require to complete our assessment.

For domestic connections, we will normally install Protective Multiple Earthing (PME). Some methods of building do not allow PME, in particular multi-occupancy steel framed buildings, in which case an alternative earthing solution can be provided by your electrical contractor. If we identify that PME cannot be provided for your premises, we will discuss this with you.
