Move Meter Location

In some circumstances you may wish to move an electricity meter. This may arise if:

  • You are building a new extension.
  • You are moving your meter to an outside location on the front of your house.
  • You are converting your garage.

You should note that, as moving a meter is a chargeable service, you will be required to pay a fee in advance.

How to move a meter

To arrange for a meter to be moved:

  1. Call ESB Networks at 1850 372 757 and make a request to get your meter moved.

    Note: When calling this number please quote the Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) for your connection. The MPRN number is a unique 11 digit reference number that tells us exactly where you are on the electricity network and is displayed on your bill.

  2. We will send you a quotation (with a quotation number). You must attach a cheque made payable to "ESB Networks" and return it to: ESB Networks, Sean Mulvoy Road, Galway.

  3. We will require an E.T.C.I. Certificate which will be provided by your electrical contractor on completion of the wiring to the new meter. A notification of this validated wiring certificate from your contractor's regulatory body must be received electronically by ESB Networks before work is started by us.
