Power and Water standard drawings & connection standards

Power and Water is the electricity distributor for the Northern Territory. If you're doing connection, metering or supply work on its network, Power and Water'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.

Contractor access

Power and Water (NT) — contact for standards ↗

NT connection standards are administered by Power and Water; technical requirements are obtained via their network-connections team.

Hosted by the distributor; some documents need contractor registration or a portal login.

What these cover

On Power and Water's network across the Northern Territory, 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. Power and Water keeps the full set on a contractor portal, so you may need to register to reach every drawing. They sit alongside the wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) and Northern Territory's installation rules (administered by NT Building Advisory Services), and they're revised periodically — always work from Power and Water's current published version, not a saved copy.

Working in the Power and Water network

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