Introduction

ESB Networks are responsible for connecting customers to the electricity network.  If you are building a house or carrying out renovation which requires your meter to be disconnected you should consult with them to determine how best to achieve your aim.  The Commission has approved a number of guarantees relating to connection in ESB Network's Customer Charter.

How to get Connected

If you are connecting a house that has never been connected before or which has been disconnected for more than 2 years, you will have to complete an application for a new connection.  You can obtain more information on this process by contacting ESB Networks on 1850 372 757 or visiting their website.

Before your electricity supply is switched on, ESB Networks will ask you to nominate a supplier.  This is required so that ESB Networks know who to send your meter information to and so that you can be billed.   Click to view a list of suppliers and contact details: Electricity Suppliers 

Cost of Connection

The cost of connection varies depending on a number of factors including the distance from the network.  For a full quotation contact ESB Networks on 1850 372 757.
