Safety First!

Electricity, when not handled safely, can be fatal. Electricity always seeks a path to the ground, using a conductor. If you touch a live wire while you are grounded, your body will act as a conductor allowing the electricity to pass through you to the ground, giving you an electric shock. The strength of the shock and the extent of the injuries sustained varies. An electrical shock can burn, cut, cause internal bleeding, or kill. Practice safety first.

ESA Requirements

Any electrical service that requires a disconnection for the purpose of repairs, a panel change, or meter relocation, shall be initiated by calling our Customer Service Department to request a Service Spot Sheet. The Service Spot Sheet will detail the customer’s responsibilities associated with the request.

All disconnected services will require an Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) inspection prior to the re-connection of the service by Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc. The ESA ensures the electrical work performed follows the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Any work performed on the customer’s side of the demarcation point, not involving Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc, is still subject to ESA inspection.

Refer to Niagara Peninsula Energy Inc Conditions of Service for further information.
