In order to identify your exact location we need at least one of the following:

• Accurate X/Y ITM or GPS coordinates to identify your dwelling’s exact location and orientation
  
  
  • How to find your Site’s ITM Co-Ordinates
    ITM centre point co-ordinates are usually found on your Ordnance Survey Location Map in the top right corner.  They are expressed as two six-digit numbers, separated by a comma.
    
    
  • How to find your Site’s GPS Co-Ordinates
    GPS co-ordinates provide your location in latitude and longitude and appear as two numerical values, such as (51.877520, -8.507442).
    
    The easiest way to find your GPS co-ordinates is by using Google Maps.  On a smartphone or computer, drop a pin on the exact location of your site.  You will need to zoom in as far as you can to provide a precise location.  To drop a pin, click or touch and hold on the location of your site.
    
    On a mobile, once you’ve dropped the pin, touch it to reveal the GPS co-ordinates.  On desktop, the GPS co-ordinates will appear when you drop the pin or right click and select ‘What’s here’. Latitude and longitude will appear at the bottom of the screen.
    
    

• The Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) of the propertyYou will find this number on any old electricity bill. Alternatively you could take the number of the Meter and contact us on 1800 372 757 and we will locate it.
  
  
• The Eircode of the property

You should be able to locate the eircode on the Eircode Finder website

• Load and connection capacity details describe specific technical information.
• To ensure accuracy please consult your electrical contractor.
• You can download the form to see the details required and get your electrical contractor to complete. You will be able to upload the completed form as part of the application form.
  
  

ESB Networks can arrange reconnection of a property without a supplier request when a property has been disconnected on safety grounds, and the reconnection is completed within 24 hours of the disconnection. Please note a cert from an electrical contractor may be required to confirm the internal wiring is safe before the reconnection can be completed. If the reconnection cannot be completed within 24 hours, you will need to contact your supplier and request a reconnection order. You will still need a cert from an electrical contractor.

No, if you are a new occupant of the property, it does not matter who the previous supplier was.  Register with a supplier of your choice and request the reconnection.  As part of this process the previous supplier is contacted, if necessary, by the Meter Registration System Operator (MRSO) a "ringfenced" function within ESB Networks who is responsible for the Change of Supplier process. 

If you have made a change to the internal wiring and the meter location needs to be moved, a service alteration work order will be needed in addition to the reconnection order. First contact your supplier and arrange the reconnection to be sent to ESB Networks, next contact ESB networks to discuss the service alteration. For more information on service alterations please see Service Alterations.

If no appointment is agreed with your supplier when the order is received by ESB Networks, our system will automatically allocate it to an ESB Networks Technician who will visit the site within the standard timeframe of 2 to 5 working days to complete the reconnection. If for some reason the ESB Networks Technician cannot complete the reconnection when they visit the site, our scheduling team will contact you to agree an appointment.
