Request more power

If the lever on your electric meter keeps dropping, you may need a higher wattage.

Go to the form

First, check it's really the meter

Make sure it's the lever at the meter that drops, not a breaker in your breaker box, so you don't pay for more power you don't need.

If the meter lever keeps dropping, you're probably using more than your allotted kilowatts. Cycle through the meter display to see your maximum usage for each of the three periods (A1, A2, A3).

If the meter lever stays up but a breaker in your box drops, something plugged in is likely the cause. Switch all breakers down, switch the main one up, then switch the others up one at a time to find the one causing it.

Requirements

  • Ask your landlord

    Check that your home's wiring can handle the increase. It usually can, but it's best to be sure, especially in older homes.

  • Choose a level

    Most homes have 3.0 kW. Increases are usually to 4.5 kW or 6.0 kW.

  • Authorize the request online

    There is no form to print or sign. You review and accept the terms on this page before you send your request.

Fees

Your utility provider adds these fees to your electric bill once the request is processed (they may change):

  • One-time (estimate): €75 per kW of increase. From the standard 3.0 kW: 4.5 kW → 1.5 × 75 = €112.50; 6.0 kW → 3 × 75 = €225.00
  • Monthly: €2 for each kW above 3.0 kW. 4.5 kW → €3.00 a month; 6.0 kW → €6.00 a month

    Wattage increase: authorization and terms

    Please read each item and tick it to confirm.

    More than 6.0 kW

    4.5 kW and 6.0 kW are the standard increases. A request above 6.0 kW is handled differently:

    • In the box that appears on the form, enter the total kW you are requesting and the reason you need more than 6.0 kW.
    • The request needs coordination with, and approval from, your landlord and the distribution company.
    • It may require a meter change and an electrician's approval, so it takes longer.

    Service requests are for authorized patrons only
