If you are increasing the amount of electricity your domestic property will use, you may need to install additional electrical load.
Common situations that require an installation of additional electrical load are:
- Installing a new electric heating system
- Extending a domestic property
- Installing a range cooker
- Installing an electric vehicle charge
- Installing an electric power shower
To find out if you need to install additional electrical load in your domestic property, please complete the following steps before your chosen electrical contractors start their installation or renovation works.
Step 1 - Complete an Electricity Supply Enquiry (ESE) form
To complete an Electricity Supply Enquiry (ESE) form you will need to provide the following:
- The existing load in kilowatts (kW)
- The proposed new electrical load in kilowatts (kW)
The ESE form is an editable PDF. You can complete it using a computer, or print it and fill it out by hand.
The ESE should be completed by a person with a good knowledge of the property's required electrical loads. If your are not confident you can accurately work out the property's required electrical load, we recommend asking an experienced electrical contractor to complete the ESE on your behalf.

If your current supply is not adequate, we will write to tell you what we need to do.
