On 11 March 2025, the Utility Regulator approved changes to NIE Networks’ Statement of Charges for Connection (SoCC) to the Northern Ireland Electricity Distribution System.
This update follows our approval in November 2024 which was the first phase of the Standard Housing Charge, which increased the charge from £1,094 to £1,974. This second approval reflects the final phase in implementing the increase in the Standard Housing Charge from £1,974 to £2,843, which is reflective of the remainder of NIE Network’s original ask, plus a true up to the current SoCC cost reflective calculation.
The updated Statement of Charges for Connection can be found on NIE Networks’ website, and is effective from 14 April 2025.
