installation at your site.
Before you complete your new connection form
Check these details carefully - we may not be able to complete your request if anything is missing.
Only complete this form if you want EDF to be your energy supplier.
Is your supply cabling in place?
Your local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) is responsible for connecting your supply to the network.
Before you request a new connection from us, they'll need to install your supply cabling. They'll provide you with your connection agreement paperwork once your cabling is in place.
Find out more about your local DNO and their contact details
Do you have all the key technical details?
Look over the connection agreement from your DNO for the technical details you’ll need. Ask your electrician or project manager for help. You'll need to add these details to your request form - we can’t complete your new connection without them.

Here's the information we'll need:
- Your 13 digit MPAN
- Your supply Amps, Voltage and KVA
- EAC - estimated annual consumption which you'll need to estimate yourself
- CT and VT ratios - current and voltage transformer ratios for high and extra high voltage connections
- Meter CoP rating - code of practice for half-hourly meters
- Wiring configuration - for high or extra high voltage meters, if you know it
You can add any additional metering requirements and photos of your supply - especially if you're requesting connection of a found meter. You'll also need to add details of your site contact and anyone managing your project at the DNO.
