Large Customer Connection Standard

Ergon Energy Network and Energex are currently consulting on an update to the STNW3522 Standard for Large Customer Connections.

STNW3522 has been retitled as Standard for Large Customer Connections to reflect the terminology in the Connection Policy 2025-2030. The proposed updated standard includes updated definitions and technical requirements relevant to Large Customer connections. It also aligns with the embedded generation standards which are designed to assist with connection decisions.

We are hosting a webinar that covers the update to the standard on Thursday 5 March 2026 at 1PM.

To review a copy of the forthcoming changes or register for the webinar, please visit our page on Talking Energy.

To provide your feedback, please fill in the feedback form on Talking Energy and submit your form to standardsfeedback@energyq.com.au by Friday 13 March 2026.

For additional information on the connection process for establishing or altering a connection in the Ergon Energy Network or Energex distribution networks, please refer to Version 9 of the Large Customer Connection Manual (PDF 1.4 mb) effective from Monday 5 January 2026.
