Book or quote your job

Licensed Level 2 ASP · 24/7 across Sydney · Fixed-price quotes

Temporary power keeps a job moving — a safe, metered, network-approved supply for a construction site, a major renovation, an event, or any situation that needs power before (or instead of) a permanent connection. Installing a temporary builder's supply (TBS) and connecting it to the Ausgrid network is Level 2 ASP work. Sydney Electrical Service is a licensed Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (licence 236351C). We supply, install, connect, relocate and remove temporary supplies across Sydney — builder's poles and pillars, site sheds and event power — and lodge the Certificate of Compliance on completion. Available 24/7.

What's Involved

Temporary power work we carry out as a Level 2 ASP:

Builder's temporary supply (TBS). A temporary pole or pillar with a meter and RCD-protected outlets for a construction or renovation site.
Network connection & metering. Connecting the temporary supply to the Ausgrid network with compliant metering.
Event & short-term power. Temporary supply for markets, events and short-duration works.
Single or three-phase. Temporary three-phase supply for cranes, hoists and heavy site equipment.
Relocation & removal. Moving the supply as the build progresses, then removing/abolishing it once the permanent connection is live.

As a Level 2 ASP we handle the network connection and disconnection ourselves, so the site is powered without waiting on a separate network crew.

NSW Compliance

Installing and connecting a temporary builder's supply to the network is Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) work. Sydney Electrical Service is an accredited Ausgrid Level 2 ASP (licence 236351C). Temporary supplies are RCD-protected and built to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3012 (electrical installations — construction and demolition sites) and Ausgrid's rules, and a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is lodged on completion.

Pricing Approach

We quote temporary power as a fixed price once we've confirmed the phases, the location and connection point, and how long the supply is needed. Call 0433 462 902 for a fixed-price quote and we'll work in with your site program.

Sydney-Specific Considerations

Sydney's constant building and renovation activity means temporary builder's supply is one of the most common Level 2 jobs we do. We coordinate the TBS with your builder and the Ausgrid network across metro Sydney, and handle the changeover when the permanent supply is connected.
