FAQs
What is an Independent Connection Provider (ICP)?
ICPs are entities responsible for the installation, connection, and maintenance of electricity supply to premises.
They act as intermediaries, facilitating the connection between a property and the wider energy network.
Working within a strict regulatory framework, ICPs operate under the National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) accreditation.
This accreditation ensures that the connections established are not only safe and efficient but also tailored to diverse consumer needs, adhering to the highest industry standards.
When should you use an Independent Connection Provider?
Consider employing an ICP when establishing a new property, expanding an existing one, or requiring modifications to your electrical connection.
Whether it is a residential, commercial, or industrial project, an ICP’s expertise ensures a seamless connection process.
What information do I need to provide to an ICP?
To initiate the connection process, provide information regarding your project’s specifications, location, electrical requirements, and relevant permits or consents.
This is essential for the ICP to design and execute a tailored solution.
How do I check if a company is an ICP?
When choosing an ICP, it is important to verify whether a company is an authorised Independent Connection Provider within the energy industry.
We would recommend the following steps:
- Check the NERS register: The National Electricity Registration Scheme (NERS) register should be consulted as the primary source of information regarding accredited Independent Connection Providers (ICPs). For direct access to the NERS register, please visit: NERS Register.
- Check official registries: Regulatory bodies such as Ofgem maintain lists of authorised ICPs.
- Explore the company’s official website: Reputable ICPs often highlight their accreditations, certifications, or qualifications.
- Direct enquiry: Contact the company directly and enquire about their certifications to ensure their legitimacy.
