Hello everyone,
I have a quote from Edis for the “network connection in house connection pillar 100A” and the “commissioning of the network connection” for over €1,350.
To have construction power available, the meter and a distribution board are still missing, right?
Once the house is completed, the house connection pillar will be removed, and the connection will be routed into the house. That will cost an additional €300 to €500, correct?
My general contractor is building two more houses in the development and suggested that we share the construction power.
In that case, the house connection pillar would not be needed for my house, and I could connect the electricity directly inside the building as soon as it is finished. The question here is, would the cost again be around €300 to €500?
How much construction power is typically consumed on average?

The screed heating program is started once the screed has been laid. By that time, the windows are definitely installed; otherwise, there would be no point in heating or laying the screed.
Once the windows are in, you can arrange for the utility connection. There is usually a gap of several days to weeks between the installation of the windows and the screed drying because a lot of interior work is still being done, such as plastering, plumbing, electrical installations, and so on.
If the electrical connection is timed properly, you can have your utility connection installed before the screed drying starts and then use electricity through your own meter.
Without drying, electricity costs are practically negligible. Our construction meter measured around 10€ worth of electricity, mostly used for charging batteries and running the site radio. The ironic part was that setting up the temporary electrical supply cost 200€. I complained because it doesn’t make sense to incur 200€ in fees for just 10€ of electricity usage. Of course, that didn’t change anything, especially since the distribution box was already positioned by the street…
Well, what can you do? If the main contractor already says they want to run everything through one distribution box, I would go along with that. The main thing is to make sure no one is using it to dry out the building...
