ᐅ New electrical distribution panel. High voltage & low voltage.

Good morning everyone,

We had the entire electrical system redone recently. The electrician has now finished installing a new distribution board, etc. However, there are two main power cables from the utility company: the low voltage (LV) and high voltage (HV) lines. The LV line is no longer needed, as we have also removed the night storage heaters that it was originally intended for.

My question is: Do I need to contact the electricity provider to disconnect the LV line? Maybe they will also want to install a new meter? I just don’t want them to be surprised later when nothing is being recorded on the meter. Otherwise, we were planning to simply read whatever we can at the next meter reading and see what happens.

I look forward to your answers.

Good luck

In some cases, you have to pay a kind of rental fee per meter... Definitely worth calling, even if it’s just a few euros per year.

Thanks, yes, I will do that.
