Getting new electricity to an outbuilding

    Hi, we need to get power to an outbuilding so we can heat and light a couple of stables. There is no electricity on site at the moment, so we would need a new connection, but it's not a house with planning permission etc, is there any way I can get ESB networks to bring a supply to the stables?

    Many thanks

    You need a registered electrical contractor to fit out the outbuildings with lighting and whatever else you need which he will then certify and apply to the ESB for a connection to the grid.If there is no supply at all nearby it will be quite expensive.

    As superb has said you will need to get a REC (Registered Electrical Contractor) to carry out the electrical installation work. You can find a local REC here or here.

    The REC will then issue you with an ETCI completion certificate. Here are some more details about the certification process.

    Most likely you will be looking for a 12kVA supply, this is the smallest (and therefore cheapest) supply that you can get. Details about how to apply for this can be found here. Your REC will guide you through this process.

    Superg is correct, a new supply may cost a lot if new poles and transformer are required. A quote up front would be a good idea.
