Connection Charges for Solar and Other Technologies
How much will it cost?
Jemena will apply a connection charge to cover the costs and time for our team to assess your application.
From time to time, we may be required to augment our network to facilitate your Embedded Generation system. Our team will contact you if we do need to make any augmentation and advise of any associated costs.
