Victorian Electricity Distributors: Service
and Installation Rules, 2014
• The Service & Installation Rules, 2014, have been developed by the
Victorian Electricity Distributors Service and Installation Rules
Management Committee and supersede the 2005 edition.
• This edition of the Rules will commence operation on 1 January 2014
and apply to all connections to the electricity supply networks operated
by the Victorian Electricity Distributors, namely CitiPower, Jemena
Electricity Networks, Powercor Australia Ltd, SP AusNet and United
Energy.
• The Rules form the major part of Victorian Electricity Distributors’
“reasonable technical requirements” as referred to in the Electricity
Distribution Code. The Electricity Distribution Code is applied under the
Electricity Industry Act 2000 (Vic) and is administered by the Essential
Services Commission Victoria.
