What Is an Electricity Pole Connection Application?
An Electricity Pole Connection Application is a formal request submitted to your electricity provider (e.g. Energex or Ergon in Queensland) to assess and approve the connection of your temporary electricity pole to the power grid.
This application allows the provider to review your site setup, confirm technical requirements, and issue approval to proceed with energising the pole.
Why is this Needed?
This application is required to:
- Ensure your temporary pole complies with network safety and clearance standards
- Confirm that the site is safe for energisation
- Avoid delays or rejections during the electrical inspection and connection phase
- Meet your legal obligations under Queensland electrical safety laws
Without submitting this application, your pole cannot be connected to the electricity network.
How it Works
1. Identify your electricity provider or network authority. In Queensland, this will be either Energex or Ergon Energy, depending on your location.
2. Lodge the application via your electricity provider’s online portal or through your electrician. Include all required details, such as property address, pole location, and electrical contractor information.
3. Pay any application fees requested by the provider.
4. Track your application status and respond to any follow-up requests.
