Connect or Alter My Supply


Whether you need an electricity connection for a new home, building or development, or want to connect embedded generation to our network, you’ll find all the information you need in this section.

Switchboard and Meter Alterations/Relocations

If you are moving the main switchboard this will be an alteration to the mains supply, if the meters are also attached to the switchboard new meters will be required. For this type of work we require an application through our website for an Alteration to an existing electrical connection. Any changes that affect the mains supply will require network approval as there could be impacts on the network. Before the connection can be relivened following work on the mains, a network inspection is required, and a valid Certificate of Compliance must be provided (in accordance with Part 5 of the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 to the authorised person undertaking this inspection. An application fee will be chargeable (refer to our Schedule of Rates).  Please refer to this diagram for a pictoral overview.

If the metering is downstream of the main switchboard and no alterations to the incoming mains supply are needed, no application needs to be submitted. You can elect to engage with the retailer directly (they will contact their appointed MEP to arrange for the metering replacement). If you want MLL to do this on your behalf, then an application is required and an application fee will be chargeable (refer to our Schedule of Rates).

  • DG it.

    DG refers to any device such as a photovoltaic solar array, micro-hydro, diesel generator or a storage device (e.g. electric vehicle battery or standalone battery) which can generate electricity at a consumer’s property and is connected to MLL’s network.

  • EV it.

    If you own an EV please let us know by clicking on the button below. By knowing how much electricity could be used in different parts of the network, we can better manage load on the network and potentially prevent interruptions to your supply.

    Any consumer who owns (or purchases) an Electric Vehicle (EV) may like to connect their EV charging point to MLL’s controllable tariff. MLL charges approximately 3c less per kWh of energy (as at 1 April 2022) under the controllable tariff. For further information, please contact us or your local electrician.
