Transition to Essential Connections
As a result of the updated go-live dates, cutover dates will move. We are working towards a new cutover date of 5th October 2022 (commencement of the transition to the new solution) and will confirm this date next week.
As we transition data to the new Essential Connections Portal, the below activities will cease or change between 5th and 10th October 2022. See the below image for detail.
Easements
The following information will be sent to law societies and frequent legal representatives that submit easement cases. A user guide will be uploaded to the website and shared with you prior to go-live.
Essential Energy is introducing the Essential Connections Portal, a self-service portal for all customers and their representatives to:
- Submit documentation for Easements.
- Make upfront payments with the easy-to-use online payment gateway.
Before you can access the portal, make an enquiry, submit information, or submit easement documents, you will be required to register and activate an account with Essential Energy.
To create a new account, head to the Essential Connections Registration page on the Essential Energy website. How to Video Guide will assist you – follow the ‘Customers’ menu.
