Fees your local distributor may charge
Your local distributor is responsible for the poles, wires and meter(s) connected to your premises.
We’ve broken down the fees charged for the most commonly requested services in the tables below.
Please note that in specific instances (including services requested outside of normal business hours, where site attendance is required and/or urgent requests) other fees and charges may apply. If we need to arrange on your behalf for your distributor to perform a particular service, we may pass through the fee they charge to you.
By understanding which distribution area you’re in, you will know what fees to expect when requesting an additional service. Your bill will show who your distributor is.
