This page explains how to fill out the installation address, type, and work details in the CCEW form. Accurate installation details are essential for compliance and network operator requirements.

​
Installation address

Required fields

Either Street Number or Lot/RMB, Street Name, Suburb, State, and Post Code are required.

Optional fields

Property Name, Floor, Unit, and Nearest Cross Street are optional.
The installation address is critical for regulatory compliance and network operator identification.
Same as customer addressIf the installation address matches the customer’s address, use the “Same as customer address” checkbox to automatically copy the details.For residential installations, the installation and customer addresses are typically identical. Using the copy function saves time and reduces errors.

​
Installation address fields

  • Floor: Enter the floor number if the address is in a multi-storey building (e.g. “Level 2”). Leave blank if not applicable.
  • Unit/Apartment: Enter the unit, apartment, or flat number if the property is part of a larger complex (e.g. “Unit 5”, “Apt 12B”). Leave blank for standalone houses or properties without a unit number.
  • Lot / RMB: Enter the lot number (for new developments or rural land without a formal street number) or the RMB (Roadside Mailbox) number if used in rural areas.
  • Street Number: Enter the street number of the property (e.g. “24”). For properties with multiple numbers, use formats such as “24–26” or “24A”.
  • Street Name: Enter the full name of the street (e.g. “George Street”). Do not abbreviate the street type here (e.g. don’t use “St”, use “Street)
  • Nearest Cross Street: Enter the name of the nearest cross street. This helps confirm the location, especially in rural areas or where street numbering is unclear.
  • Suburb: Enter the suburb or locality of the property (e.g. “Parramatta”).
  • State: Select the Australian state or territory for the address. For NSW forms, this will usually be NSW, but the field allows for others if needed (e.g. ACT, VIC).
  • Post Code: Enter the 4-digit Australian postcode for the property (e.g. “2150”). Double-check this matches the suburb for accuracy.

​
Network connection details

These details help network operators locate and manage the electrical connection:
1

Connection point identification

  • Pit/Pillar/Pole No.: Reference number for the connection infrastructure
  • NMI: National Metering Identifier (10-11 digits from electricity bill)
  • Meter No.: Physical meter identification number
The NMI is found on the customer’s electricity bill and uniquely identifies the connection point.
2

Metering information

  • AEMO Metering Provider ID: Recommended for advanced metering installations

​
Installation classification and scope

​
Installation type

Select the applicable installation type as different AS/NZS 3000 requirements may apply.
  • Residential: Domestic dwellings, units, townhouses
  • Commercial: Offices, retail spaces, restaurants
  • Industrial: Factories, warehouses, manufacturing facilities
  • Rural: Farm properties, remote installations
  • Mixed Development: Properties with multiple use types
Accurate installation type classification is crucial for applying the correct electrical standards and safety requirements.

​
Work carried out

Select all applicable work types to accurately describe the electrical work performed:

New installations

  • New Installation: Complete new electrical systems
  • Network Connection: New supply connections
  • EV Connection: Electric vehicle charging installations

Existing systems

  • Alteration / Existing: Modifications to existing installations
  • Re-Inspection of NC: Follow-up inspections for non-compliance

Metering work

  • Installed Meter: Standard meter installations
  • Install Advanced Meter: Smart meter installations
Re-Inspection of NC: When selected, you must provide the original Non-Compliance Number for tracking purposes.

​
Special conditions

Identify any special conditions that require additional safety measures or specific compliance standards:
  • Over 100 Amps: High-current installations requiring enhanced safety measures
  • High Voltage: Installations above standard voltage levels
  • Unmetered Supply: Direct supply arrangements without standard metering
  • Hazardous Area: Explosive atmospheres, chemical environments, or dangerous goods storage
  • Off Grid Installation: Remote or standalone power systems
  • Secondary Power Supply: Backup or alternative power arrangements
Special conditions often trigger additional inspection requirements and specific compliance standards under AS/NZS 3000.

​
Network service provider

​
Provider selection

1

Automatic suggestion

The system suggests the appropriate distributor based on the installation postcode:
  • Ausgrid: Central Coast, Sydney, Hunter regions
