Capital Contribution

If you are subdividing, building, or installing equipment that greatly increases your power use, you may be required to pay a capital contribution. This is your contribution towards any addition or upgrade of the network near your site and towards the impact of that site on the network as a whole.

The capital contribution is about getting the power to your nearest ‘network connection point’ – usually a pole or pillar in the road reserve. It does not cover any work needed on the private service line that brings power from there to your building.
