Rural underground electricity connections.
Vincentia | South Coast NSW
We recently completed the connection of underground power at a rural property in Parma, near Nowra, on the South Coast NSW.
The client wanted a safe and reliable power connection to isolated sheds located at the back of the property. This project involved extensive trenching, Level 2 electrical service work, and coordination with Endeavour Energy to ensure the installation met all regulatory standards.
Scope of electrical works
- ASP Level 2 electrical services
- Excavation and trenching
- Network supply alterations
- Endeavour Energy paperwork and service notifications
- Installation of the main electricity switchboard
- Underground consumer mains (approx. 200m)
- Underground submains (approx. 150m)
- Supply and installation of a distribution board
Once complete, the new underground electricity connected the remote sheds to a stable and high-capacity power source, enabling the homeowner to operate equipment, lighting, and tools efficiently and safely.
Why underground power was the right choice
For rural properties like this one, underground electricity offers significant advantages over traditional overhead power:
- Increased Reliability: Underground cables are protected from storms, high winds, and falling branches. This minimises outages and damage.
- Improved Safety: Especially important in bushfire-prone areas, underground systems reduce the risk of electrical hazards and fire ignition.
- Cleaner Aesthetics: No poles or overhead wires means a tidier property with better views and landscape design.
- Future-Proofing: Underground infrastructure is built to last and can easily support future additions or developments.
- Rural Flexibility: The system was tailored to suit the unique layout of the property, covering long distances and reaching isolated structures.
A practical solution for rural living
By delivering underground power to the shed precinct, we helped the homeowner increase the functionality and usability of their land. It is perfect for equipment storage, machinery operation, or even future workshop use. The system was designed to be scalable, allowing for additional circuits or buildings to be connected later if needed.
