Temporary Supply for New Premises
Temporary electrical supply for new premises awaiting permanent grid connection across Sydney
Power While You Wait for Permanent Connection
Temporary supply for new premises involves establishing a temporary electrical connection to a new premises that has completed construction but is awaiting permanent grid connection — or where the permanent connection process is underway but energisation has not yet occurred. This allows the premises to be occupied, fitted out, or commissioned with electrical power before the permanent NMI and metering are fully established. Like all network connections, temporary supply requires a Level 2 ASP for the service mains work and an accredited metering coordinator for the temporary metering and NMI registration.
Temporary supply for new premises is common in Sydney's high-volume development pipeline. New residential estates in growth corridors — Marsden Park, Box Hill, Gledswood Hills — sometimes experience delays in permanent energisation due to DNSP workloads, requiring temporary supply to allow occupation. Commercial tenancies in Parramatta, Macquarie Park, and the CBD may need temporary supply during fitout while permanent metering is being established. We coordinate the temporary connection with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy and transition to the permanent supply once approved.
Temporary Supply for New Premises Process
DNSP Application
We apply to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy for a temporary supply to the new premises, with supporting documentation confirming construction completion.
Connection Design
We confirm connection type — overhead or underground — point of supply, and temporary service mains route.
Service Mains Installation
We install temporary service mains from the network connection point to the premises main switchboard.
Temporary Metering
We install a temporary meter and create the NMI with AEMO for the temporary supply period.
Transition to Permanent
Once permanent connection is approved, we transition metering and service mains to permanent configuration with minimal disruption.

When Do You Need Temporary Supply for New Premises?
New home completed but permanent energisation delayed by DNSP
Construction is complete and occupation is ready, but DNSP scheduling delays permanent energisation — temporary supply bridges the gap.

Tenants need power for fitout trades before the permanent NMI and meter are registered with the retailer.
New premises in a growth corridor estate where network augmentation is delaying permanent connections
Estate-wide network augmentation in Marsden Park, Box Hill, and similar corridors can delay individual lot permanent connections.
Completed building requiring power for commissioning before permanent supply is energised
HVAC, lift, and fire system commissioning requires energised supply before the permanent connection is live.
Strata development requiring temporary supply to common areas while individual lot connections are established
Common area lighting, lifts, and fire services may need temporary supply while individual lot NMIs are being registered.
