MortarThePoint Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 A warning to others not to make the mistake I did. I had a 3-phase connection to a building that was demolished to make way for the new build. I paid UKPN for a disconnection (£451) and am now looking to pay UKPN for a new connection (£2,441). If I had been wiser, I could have moved the connection for £1,345. I am going with a meter kiosk near the pole, so I could have just done that once saving £1,547, but even doing it twice to have the meter somewhere else after the build would have saved £202. At least I saved a meter standing charge which would have added up to about £600, but I guess I could have had the meter disconnected and saved that. £2,441 feels like a lot for a new overhead connection to a pole right next to a kiosk. It will take their engineer(s) about an hour I expect and it's probably less than £100 worth of cable and ducting needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Is any of it contestable so you can get your own quotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, but I phone a few of the IDNOs and they didn't seem very good. Can you suggest one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
