Commercial and industrial electricity supply projects

Apply to establish single or multiple supply points for your proposed commercial, industrial or business location. This includes greenfield developments and staged development of an existing development.

EnergyConnect allows you to submit applications to upgrade, extend or change our network for your project needs, including:

  • new or increased supply
  • pit installations
  • private mains on public land applications
  • private line removal
  • public lighting
  • relocating or removing assets or equipment
  • large load, major connection and generation projects
  • solar applications less than 1.5MW
  • meter-related connection, alteration and abolishments.

Contestability

For any complex residential, commercial supply, new estate or public lighting works on our distribution network, you can arrange and fund your own design and/or construction activities as part of the process. Only AusNet-approved qualified contractors may do this work so our network remains reliable and safe.

When submitting your application, select from our list of Accredited Service Providers (ASP). If you aren’t ready to choose your ASP, you can download the list and tell us after submitting your application.
