It is important that we have visibility of where electric vehicle charging equipment is being connected to help us locate increased demand and ensure the network is fit for purpose. We want to make it simple and easy for you to notify us when you are installing an electric vehicle charging point.
Please note that it is the installer's responsibility:
• Before installing the charging equipment, to assess how adequate the electricity supply capacity is for the new electric vehicle load plus any existing load.
• Before installing the charging equipment, to assess the adequacy of the earthing
• Notify us (or another electricity distribution operator) after you have installed the charging equipment within 28 days.
• Check who your local electricity network operator is here. Our two licence areas cover the south of England and north of Scotland, but there are Independent Distribution Network Operators who operate within these areas.
If the property does not pass the adequacy test, you have concerns over maximum demand or the cut-out please contact our Connections and Engineering team to request a supply upgrade
Looking for an Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) for a property? The customer you are installing the charge point will be able to find the MPAN on their electricity bill. Find out more here.
