Order an electricity connection to a detached house
Ordering an electricity connection is often relevant already in the early stages of construction, as soon as you have received a building permit. In Helsinki, electricity connections are delivered by Helen Electricity Network, which delivers the connection to the agreed connection point according to the contract. The customer is responsible for the construction of the plot portion.
This is how you can order a connection:
Order the connection
Submit the electricity connection order through the e-service. Attach the electrical plans of your property connection to the order. You need the following information to make the order:
- Parcel number of the property to be connected
- Main fuse size (ask your electrical designer or contractor)
- Contact information of the electrical contractor (you can deliver this information also at a later stage)
- Layout showing the location of the main distribution board
- Occupancy agreement if the plot is divided
Please note that the order cannot be processed until all the necessary information has been provided.
Sign the connection contract
When all the needed information has been provided and processed, Helen Electricity Network will approve the order and sign the connection contract with you. You can sign the connection contract through the e-service.
Agree on the commissioning date
Report your desired commissioning date to Helen Electricity Network through the link you received on email. Helen Electricity Network will book time for network and road work. This step takes at least four weeks. Meanwhile, a representative of Helen Electricity Network will contact you or your representative about the details regarding the construction of the connection.
Sign the electricity contract
Signing the electricity contract requires an existing place of use. After the electricity contract enters into force, the electricity contractor who did the electrical installations for your house will order the metering. The metering will be carried out when electricity has been connected to the board to be measured and the electricity contract for the site signed. Usually, this step takes time from few days to few weeks.
