Temporary connection

If you need temporary electricity usage at the site, you can find instructions and ordering information on this website.

Temporary connection

A temporary connection is a fixed-term electricity connection suitable for construction sites, events, and other temporary electricity usage needs. It is a practical solution when electricity is needed temporarily without a permanent connection.

A temporary connection is valid for a maximum of 2 years. After that, the connection is either deactivated or can be upgraded to a permanent electricity connection by modifying the contract.

Safety

Temporary electrical installations must be carried out carefully and safely:

  • Installations must meet the same safety requirements as permanent electrical installations.
  • The equipment and cables used must be suitable for outdoor conditions and withstand, for example, weather changes and mechanical stress.

Temporary installations must be inspected before commissioning, and their condition must be checked regularly during use.

Costs

The customer is responsible for the cost of the connection cable up to the connection point. 

  • If the connection cable is built by us before the connection point, this will be charged separately to the customer.
  • The connection point is usually an existing component of our network, such as a transformer or distribution cabinet. 

Temporary connections and event electricity are always priced on a case-by-case basis, but at least according to the service price list. 

Ordering

A temporary connection can be easily ordered using the electronic order form. You can access the form through the link below:
