Temporary electricity connection
When your electricity usage is temporary or it is not yet possible to install a fixed metering panel during the construction phase, you can order a temporary connection to your plot.
New temporary connection
In case of a temporary connection, Helen Electricity Network defines the connection point, and the customer’s electrical contractor builds the branch line from there to the construction site.
Overhead lines are used for longer distances and street crossings. If the main distribution board is next to the connection point, it is possible to use a cable installed inside a conduit while taking into account the electrical safety regulations.
Termination of the temporary connection
If you want to order termination of the temporary connection, please remember to terminate your electricity contract and take care of the disassembly of the temporary line. The termination of the temporary connection is free of charge for the customer.
This is how you do it
Ensure the connectivity of the temporary connection
The connectivity of the temporary connection must be checked once the required size of the connection is known. On the basis of the location and connection size, we will check whether the connection can be connected to the current network.
Order a temporary connection
If your preferred connection can be connected to the network, submit the order through Helen’s electricity network ordering system. A temporary connection contract will be concluded for a set period of time during the ordering.
The electrical contractor will order the connecting and metering
Your own electrical contractor is responsible for the main distribution board and the installation and earthworks related to the temporary connection cable at the connection point designated by us. The electrical contractor orders the metering and connection through the Contractor’s Online system.
Sign an electricity contract with your preferred electricity supplier
Your electricity supplier finds the location number by the address.
We will process the metering order and order the temporary connection for the board from our partner contractor.
Our partner contractor will agree on the precise schedule for the connection of the temporary board with your electrical contractor. The connection order will be forwarded to our contractor once you have signed the electricity contract.
The temporary connection is made
We will connect the branch line installed by your contractor at the electricity network connection point and install an electricity meter to the board on the date agreed with your contractor. After this, we will invoice the temporary connection and any additional cable connections in accordance with our service price list. The invoicing will start on the day of the meter installation.
Termination of the temporary connection
Submit the order for the termination of the temporary connection through our ordering system. We will disconnect the connection and remove the electricity meter, after which the invoicing will end. The customer is responsible for disassembling the temporary line once the temporary connection is disconnected.
