What is a Temporary Supply?

A Temporary supply is a connection at low voltage provided for a limited period of time and is not permanent. Where NIE Networks provide a temporary supply then the work required to both connect and disconnect the temporary supply will be outlined within your terms letter. Please note that a temporary supply is made for the duration of your construction project, granted for a period or multiple period not exceeding 12 months. The supply will therefore be scheduled for disconnection by NIE Networks, no later than 12 months from connection. It may be possible to request an extension to this 12 month period where reasonable justification is provided.

To get a temporary supply, please apply for a new connection and provide details of the temporary supply in the 'Additional Information' section.

For domestic premises, please complete a new domestic connection application form.
For business or commercial premises, please complete a new business connection application form.
