    Hi everyone ,
    Have an existing shed connected to the house consumer unit with it's own small garage consumer unit . Have put up another shed near existing shed . Can I take the power from the consumer unit in the existing shed or do I need to go back to the house consumer unit ?
    Thanks

    That depends on a lot of factors, such as:
    1) Has the existing shed got sufficient spare capacity?
    2) What size loading is the new shed?
    3) Is the wiring associated with the existing shed safe / up to standard?
