3 Things You Need to Do Before Making an Energex Subdivision Application
If you need Energex to energise your development, then you have to follow specific steps to get approval from the company and to arrange your power supply. To keep your project on track, it's important to move quickly here. Your application process should be finely timed; it also needs to meet the company's acceptance criteria.
What do you need to do to get approval for your power supply needs?
1. Hire an Energex Consultant
You can't make a formal application to Energex to energise any build without the help of an accredited consultant. The company will only deal with individuals or companies which are part of their trusted partner network.
So, your first job is to find and hire a qualified consultant. It might help to hire an electrical services company who can do this consultancy job for you and then do the electrical work you need. This saves you having to hire twice.
2. Accept Your Payment Responsibilities
Your subdivision comes with some costs. These can vary depending on the size and type of project and its energisation needs. For example, you might have to pay an application fee, bond and site inspection fees. You need to agree to pay all relevant fees before Energex will approve your application.
3. Provide Appropriate Plans
Energex will want to see your plans for the electrical work on your site. They need to check that you have a viable and safe proposal that meets their terms and conditions.
You can't simply draw up this plan yourself. You have to engage a designer that has accreditation. Some consultants and electrical services providers can do this job so check with them first. If not, they can hire a designer for you.
You'll also have to provide information about any conditions that your local council or government has set on the development. You usually get this information from your planning application approval documents.
Energex needs to check that it can meet these conditions and that they won't affect your proposed energisation plans. If there is a disconnect between what you want to do, what your local council wants you to do and what Energex can do, then you have a problem. Your consultant can help you gather and submit this information and check it for problems.
To get started, contact Energex subdivision electrical services professionals. It's a good idea to work with local specialists. They will have useful experience as you go through the application process.
