A design fee of $6,195.00 is payable for projects involving:

• the supply of electricity to a connection with a total maximum load of between 31 kVA and 1000 kVA or 10% of the relevant systems peak load; or
• CT metering that will result in an increase in the load capacity at the relevant site.

Step three: Accept the formal quote

We will issue an invoice for the work which will need to be paid before any scheduling or construction can begin.
