Select reason for disconnection

You'll need to submit a request for us to disconnect the electricity supply to your property ahead of demolition.  A site plan will need to be included, to show your work site and the location of existing and new electrical assets.

Fees

Additional charges will apply if it is necessary to relocate Horizon Power electricity infrastructure assets in order to undertake the Works.

All prices are correct as at 1 July 2025, include GST (except where noted otherwise), and are subject to change at any time.

Ready to disconnect?

Complete the Application and Agreement for Network services

We'll commence demolition works once:

  • the customer’s account is finalised; and
  • a Horizon Power “Disconnection for Demolition” notice has been issued to the customer.

If you're renovating a home, or completing other non-electrical works, you can request that we temporarily disconnect your power supply while the work is carried out. 

If an electrical contractor needs to temporarily disconnect the power, they can submit a Preliminary Notice. This informs us of the work, so you won’t need to request a separate disconnection request.

Reconnecting to the network

After a disconnection, you may need to request that we reconnect your power.

This is to ensure:

Once testing is complete, the electrical contractor will submit either:

Electrical Safety Certificate

This document must be retained by the electrical contractor for a minimum of 5 years.

It certifies the electrical work has been checked, tested and complies with all regulatory requirements. And is safe to connect to the electricity supply.

Visit Building & Energy WA for further information

Notice of Completion

Must be submitted to us within 3 days of completion of the electrical work. This is to ensure the property is safe for reconnection.

It certifies the work has been checked, tested and complies with all regulatory requirements. And is safe to connect to the electricity supply.
