Energex standard drawings & connection standards

Energex is the electricity distributor for South-East Queensland. If you're doing connection, metering or supply work on its network, Energex's standard drawings and network technical standards are the rules that apply on the network side of the meter. Here's where to find the official documents — we link to them, we don't host them.

What these cover

On Energex's network across South-East Queensland, the standard drawings and network standards set out how the connection between the network and an installation must be built — service and point-of-attachment arrangements, metering and CT positions, underground and overhead service rules, pillar and pit details, and clearances. Energex publishes these openly, so you can reach the current drawings without an account. They sit alongside the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) and Queensland's installation rules (administered by Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC)), and they're revised periodically — always work from Energex's current published version, not a saved copy.

Working in the Energex network

We're an independent directory of suppliers. We link to Energex's official documents for convenience — we don't host, reproduce or interpret them, and being listed here is not an endorsement by Energex. Standards change; confirm the current requirements and your obligations directly with Energex and Queensland's regulator.
