Northpower approved contractors
Here's our list of approved contractors
Only specifically approved contractors can connect new lines or cables from your property to Northpower poles or pillars.
We’ll need to know which approved contractor you would like to inspect and liven your connection from the list below. This contractor will invoice you or your electrician for the work directly.
For pricing information including preliminary ballpark or budgetary estimates, please visit their website or contact them directly for more information.
There are two types of Network Approved Contractors, each with a different role:
Network Approved Constructors
These contractors build the connection to the network.
They are responsible for:
-
Building any network extension required
-
Installing poles, cables, or underground lines if required
In short: They build it.
Network Approved Livening Agents
These contractors connect your installation to the live network.
They are responsible for:
-
Installing the meter
-
Inspects the work your electrician has completed
- Making sure it meets safety and compliance requirements
- Safely turning the power on (energising the connection)
In short: They switch it on.
Why both are needed
For safety and quality reasons, construction and livening are separate steps.
This ensures:
- your connection is built correctly
- all safety checks are completed
- your power supply is connected safely and reliably
