Meters
Meters, load, and supply on the NSW CCEW
Meter installs, removals, and load figures for the network. You can add up to 8 meters per cert.
Meter management
When replacing meters, add both the old meter (status: "Removed") and new meter (status: "Installed") to maintain complete installation records.
Adding and managing meters

Load and supply assessment
Load calculation requirements
Accurate load assessment ensures grid stability and compliance with network capacity:
Calculate additional load
Estimated Increase in Load (A/ph): Calculate the additional electrical load in Amps per phase from new installations.
Include all new appliances, lighting, and equipment in your load calculation.
Assess existing capacity
Is increased load within capacity? Evaluate whether existing electrical service can handle additional load:
- Yes: Current installation/service capacity is adequate
- No: Service upgrade or load management may be required
Exceeding service capacity can cause safety hazards and compliance issues.
Document connection status
Is work connected to supply? Indicate current energisation status:
- Yes: New work is connected and operational
- No: Work awaits network operator inspection/connection
