When to apply. Plan ahead for your electricity supply or alteration
If you have been granted planning permission for your proposed development you need to plan ahead for your electricity supply. You also need to consider whether your proposed development will require alterations to NIE ‘s existing equipment.
NIE may have to obtain some or all of the following to meet your requirements:
- Approval from other landowners for the new or altered infrastructure including formal agreement to wayleaves or easements
- Planning permission from the DRD Planning Service. This planning permission is entirely separate from the planning approval you have been granted for your development
- Permission from DRD Roads Service to carry out work on public roadways
Please note that in some instances, because of the processes described above, it may take 9 months before the work can be completed. NIE strongly advises you to make an early application for your new supply or alteration to avoid any undue delays.
