Connect, modify, or remove an electricity or gas connection. We recommend submitting a connection application early on so we can meet your timelines.
An electricity or gas retail meter needs to be installed and an agreement needs to be in place with your energy retailer before we can turn the power on at your premises. A list of energy retailers is available on the Australian Energy Regulator's website.
If you are unsure which connection is right for you, we recommend asking an electrician, or giving us a call on 13 23 86 before lodging any applications.

Connection timeframes
The delivery of field works is dependent on your timelines and the complexity of the required services. We recommend you let us know about your project as early as possible to ensure we can work to deliver to your desired timeframes.
Please note the lead-time from our suppliers for items such as transformers has also increased to 10 months.

Connection contracts
Under section 78 of the National Energy Retail Law (NERL), small customers have the right to a Deemed Standard Connection Contract. If your premise is connected to our electricity or gas distribution system, you are bound by the terms and conditions of one or both of our Deemed Standard Connection Contracts. If you have arranged another connection contract with us for the premise, this contract won’t apply.
Large customers are more likely to have a negotiated connection contract in place and therefore the Deemed Standard Connection Contract/s would not apply.
Note: All customers have the right to negotiate a connection contract with Evoenergy. To initiate this process an email should be sent to network.connectionadvice@evoenergy.com.au or the allocated project engineer. Customers may be required to pay upfront costs for the estimated cost of negotiation prior to any work being undertaken. Estimated costs will be developed using the labour rates published in the Evoenergy Schedule of Charges.
