Yes, we do require a separate application to make a temporary residential connection permanent.
This is so we can ensure we meet our Electricity Authority obligations and because both the retailer owning the ICP and WEL Networks must agree to the change. This change will affect the demand on our network which must be reviewed and will also affect the network pricing for the ICP.
