Local Utility Connection Support
Power connections often set the project schedule.
What support may exist
| Area | Support |
|---|---|
| Connection timing | Expedited processing for eligible projects |
| Capacity | Assured supply for high-load facilities |
| Cost | Subsidised extension or connection charges |
| Studies | Funded feasibility and grid studies |
| Renewables | Support for on-site generation |
Practical advice
- Apply for the connection as early as possible; it is rarely fast.
- Get commitments in writing, including dates.
- Plan temporary power for commissioning if the connection slips.
Utility support schemes differ locally and change. Confirm current terms with the network operator.
