Temporary Electricity Solutions for Your Site
If you're on a construction site, completing demolition, or overseeing new development, it is highly likely that you will need a temporary electricity supply. Without power, key site activities, tools, lighting, welfare units, and safety systems, cannot work effectively. At E for Energy, we take care of arranging your temporary supply and the process is hassle free.
Why Do You Need a Temporary Electricity Supply on Site?
Electricity is essential to the life cycle of any construction or development project, from starting demolition to the completion of a full structure. Construction generally requires electricity to power cutting and drilling tools, lighting, equipment, systems for assuring site security, and powered site offices, all typically having only electronic control.
We work closely with a network of approved suppliers to facilitate temporary supplies tailored to your requests.
Types of Temporary Meter Installations
- Up to 70kVA, best suited for essential power tools, site lighting, non-power equipment, and welfare facilities.
- Over 70kVA, best suited for larger sites where the load is too heavy, and machinery is involved, lots of offices, or continuously high-load work.
If your project involves demolition of an existing building, we will arrange for the safe removal of the existing meter and installation of a temporary meter. Following the completion of construction, we can either cease the temporary supply or convert it to a permanent meter via our new connections and metering service. For ongoing energy needs after completion, we can also assist with electricity procurement.
Most sites run on temporary electricity while the permanent gas supply is arranged. We also manage gas meter installation and new gas connections, so the move from temporary to permanent supplies is planned in one place.
