Site Visit
Once Nelson Hydro has been contacted, a site visit is required to choose the electrical meter location on the building, and the attachment details. If the new construction requires an extension of primary and/or secondary service, that project will be reviewed during the site visit. Since Nelson has a large rural area, it is often the case that new construction requires an extension of existing infrastructure. These extension costs are borne by the customer/developer requiring the new service(s).
Payments
No electrical connections can be scheduled until all payments, permits and necessary rights of way are in place.
