Demolitions

Demolishing or relocating a building

If you plan to demolish or relocate a building you will need to advise us and your electricity retailer. Generally the customer (whoever has the electricity account) must advise us and the retailer so that meters can be removed and accounts finalised. We will remove the electrical supply to the premises and ensure that it's made safe at the property boundary.

In areas where there are overhead power lines, we remove the service lines or cable from our overhead electricity network to disconnect a supply for demolition purposes.

In areas where there are underground power cables, we remove the cable from our underground electricity network, usually via a boundary box. If there isn't a boundary box, we cut the cable in the footpath and ensure it's safe. Any remaining cable on the property is the owner's responsibility.

To talk to someone about a demolition request, please contact us on 03 363 9898 or email us. You will need to allow three working days for us to action your request.

Fire damage to building

Where the Fire Service asks us to attend a fire and the building or point of entry for electrical supply are on fire or damaged, we will disconnect the electrical installation and physically remove it from our network until further notice.
