Elexicon Energy residential customers receive one free isolation per 12 month period, during regular business hours. There is a charge for additional isolations within the 12 month period.
The reconnect notice must be provided to Elexicon no later than 2:30 pm after the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) Connection Authorization has been received.

Please remember that Elexicon staff cannot operate customer equipment (44kV switches, etc.) due to liability issues, and therefore, you are required to have your contractor operate customer-owned equipment.
If Elexicon staff are requested to operate customer-owned equipment, they have the right to refuse and your isolation may be cancelled. Elexicon will prove isolation. It will be up to the contractor to apply their own working grounds. Please ensure that you have the necessary operators on site to avoid any work delays or appointment cancellations.
