communal electricity

[surawy]

They ---electricity board--switched it off just before Xmas.
They said it was a temporary supply (IN DEVELOPERS NAME --we have taken over complex mgmt.-and paid the last bill) and if we wanted to reconnect we had to get an authorised electrician to present a plan // also give them the load.
I have never heard of this----they say its because the last supply was temporary.
Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions
Most of us live in the UK.

Hi Andrew

This is something your developer needs to sort out. Before the Electricity Authority will connect you to the mains supply they need details of the electrical work - drawings, loadings, etc. They will then visit and carry out an earth leakage test after which they'll connect you.

(I - or rather my builder - had to do this when I had my place built).

The developer will have all the information needed.
