Track your Connection

This means we have received your signed Connection Agreement and payment, and we have begun the Design stage of your connection.

This involves carrying out a detailed design and securing any necessary permissions or wayleaves from landowners. When these permissions have been granted, construction of your connection can begin. In some cases it may be necessary to erect a new pole on your site within 50 meters of the outdoor meter cabinet. Read your Welcome Pack (sent with your quotation) for more information on outdoor meter cabinet positioning.

The data is refreshed early morning Monday to Friday. If there has been any change to the status of your connection it will be reflected the following day.

'On Hold’ means that we are waiting on updates for the following information:

• The wiring certificate from your Electrical Contractor
• Notification that your underground service duct is ready
• Confirmation that you have registered with an Electricity Supplier

We aim to provide a quotation within 7 working days where no visit to your site is required, and 15 working days when a site visit is required. If a site visit is required the Engineering Officer will contact you.

Important Safety Notice: If there is an overhead electrical line or cable crossing your site, do not carry out any work until you have permission from ESB Network Services (Telephone 1800 372 757 or +353 21 2386555)

Contact or near contact with such a line by persons or machinery could result in a fatality.

Your electrician updates the details on your cert electronically via Safe Electric. Safe Electric then advise ESB Networks of the Cert details. This may take up to 2 working days to show on the Tracker.

The Tracker will show you what stage your connection is at. ‘My Action List’ outlines what must be done to ensure your connection progresses.

This means that we are building the infrastructure to safely connect the electricity to your premises.

In order for us to complete the Construction stage, you must confirm that the underground service duct, meter cabinet and earth trench (where required) have been installed in accordance with ESB Networks’ specifications.

If there is no significant additional work required we aim to complete your connection 12 weeks from receipt of your signed Connection Agreement and payment. At this time 60 days will be displayed, beginning the countdown to connection. The countdown refers to work days only, meaning weekends, bank and public holidays are not counted.

If there is no significant additional work required and we are not reliant on third parties, your connection should be live within 1 working day. Our New Connections Team will be in contact with you to give you an update or you can contact us.

If the Tracker is showing that the quotation has issued - you will receive an email. That email will indicate whether the quotation has been posted or is available to view by logging in to your customer portal account.

If the quotation has been posted, please allow 2 working days for the quote to arrive in the post. 

This means that we are waiting to receive:

• A signed Connection Agreement
• Payment of the quotation

Your connection application may progress once these are complete.

We have made the service live to your property. For safety reasons your Electrical Contractor will need to remove the isolator switch to turn on the power. If there was a mobile number for the Electrical Contractor on the wiring cert we have already notified them.

You may track new connections for single domestic and single commercial premises less than 100 kVA.

If no significant work is required, ESB Networks aims to complete your connection 60 business days after receiving your signed Connection Agreement and payment.

Our ESB Networks Customer Charter PDF sets out our metering and connection timing guarantees. Provided you have applied and paid for the connection at least 10 weeks prior to the completion of your electrical installation, we will complete your new connection within 2 weeks of receipt of the wiring certificate.
