Low voltage electricity connections for residential and small commercial developments. From Point of Connection application to NGED energisation, under one contract.
Every LV connection follows a clear, auditable sequence. Here is exactly what happens at each stage.
The first step is establishing where on the NGED low voltage network the new main will connect. USP prepares and submits the formal POC application to NGED, including the load assessment, site layout, proposed meter positions, and maximum demand calculation. NGED confirms the Point of Connection, advises on any network reinforcement required, and issues a connection offer detailing non-contestable charges. USP manages this process and keeps you updated throughout.
With the POC confirmed, USP prepares the detailed engineering design for the new LV main. This covers cable route selection, cable sizing (95mm², 185mm², or 300mm² waveform cable depending on demand), jointing bay positions, and ducting layout. Where possible the LV cable trench is coordinated with gas and water to minimise excavation. USP obtains all necessary permits, manages traffic management, and delivers the civil and cable installation works.
All cable jointing is carried out by NGED-approved operatives working to NGED technical standards. The new LV main is jointed and terminated ready for the non-contestable cut-in by NGED's operations team. The cut-in connects the new cable to the existing NGED network and is a non-contestable activity that only NGED can carry out. USP coordinates the NGED cut-in booking, attends on the day, and carries out all pre-cut-in checks.
Energisation of the new LV network, including individual plot connections, is a non-contestable activity scheduled and carried out by NGED. USP coordinates the energisation appointment, carries out pre-energisation checks, and confirms all service connections are ready before the NGED visit. Once energised, meter installation can proceed and supplies can be switched on plot by plot as completions occur.
Every LV main we install is NGED inspected and formally energised before handover. These are real USP projects, not stock photos.

I contacted USP and within minutes had a chat with Justin who described exactly how the job would be done and provided a comprehensive quote including labour and materials and was able to start the work in just 7 days. Justin and his team were brilliant and did an amazing job. I can highly recommend USP.
Jack and Joel were absolutely amazing this morning and really put themselves out to dig a hole without having to dig another hole in my drive. More work for them but one happy customer.
From the initial quote through to work completion, Justin and his work partner were a mix of professional, knowledgeable, good-humoured, and clear in all explained (I felt an instant ease to agree to the work). The work itself was excellent and they left the place immaculate!
George and Jack come out today to move a gas meter. It wasn't a straightforward job, but they both took time to talk me through what they were doing and what the next steps are. Very friendly and polite and thought about the needs of our family.
Jack and George are great.
Bang on time, completed the work perfectly, no issues. Left the meter really neatly finished. Jack and Joel were very courteous and did a great job.
George and Jack turned up and did a first class job, very friendly and professional. Great job lads.
Jack and Joel were brilliant. Very polite, worked to my highest expectations. Left the area as clean and tidy, as was possible. And explained every step of the process to me, answering any questions I had.
Fantastic work from Jack and Johl.
