LV safety program

The Low Voltage (LV) Safety Program has now finished. This program helped us better understand how to keep the power quality of the low voltage electricity network safe and stable. It also helped us get ready for changes in the way customers use energy, like solar, batteries and electric vehicles.

What this means for you:

  • Your power safety and reliability remain a priority
  • We now use newer technology to manage the network more efficiently.

A device may still be installed at your property, but it is no longer collecting data for this program. If we need to remove a device in future, we’ll contact you first to arrange a suitable time.
