Metric Power is an accredited Level 2 electrical contractor working across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, Maitland and Port Stephens. We’re one of the few contractors in the region accredited on both the Ausgrid and Essential Energy networks, which means one team can handle your new connection, defect rectification, three phase upgrade or commercial metering job no matter which network your site sits on. Builders, developers, facilities managers and industrial clients call us for the jobs that need network-level sign-off, not just a licensed electrician.
Most Level 2 electricians are accredited on one network. Metric Power is an accredited Level 2 Service Provider (ASP) on both Ausgrid and Essential Energy, covering a broader range of new connections, alterations and defect work than a single-network provider can. For builders and developers working across council and network boundaries, that means fewer contractors to manage and one accredited team responsible for the outcome.
We service Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, Maitland and Port Stephens with the same crew on every job. If your business or development runs across more than one of these areas, you get one point of contact and the same standard of work on every site, rather than switching electricians every time a job crosses a postcode line.
As an accredited ASP Level 2 contractor, we carry out electrical work that sits above standard licensing, the jobs that connect to or alter the electricity network itself. Here’s what we cover.
New electricity connections for subdivisions, multi-occupancy developments and commercial builds, from a single block to a multi-lot estate. We manage the Ausgrid or Essential Energy application and lodgement so your project isn’t waiting on network approval to move forward
Three phase power upgrades and switchboard upgrades for commercial and industrial sites outgrowing their current supply. If new equipment or a bigger tenancy has pushed your load past what your switchboard can handle, we scope the upgrade and manage the network application.
Commercial metering installation for single and three phase sites, including embedded network setups for multi-tenancy and multi-occupancy developments.
Received an Ausgrid defect notice or a notice from Essential Energy? We inspect the defect, quote the fix and complete the rectification, including private power pole replacement, before your notice deadline passes.
Electrical faults don’t keep business hours. We run a 24/7 emergency electrical response service for businesses across our service area.

Metric Power works B2B. Most of our jobs come from:
If your job needs network-level accreditation, we’re set up to work alongside your existing team rather than around it.
We cover Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Central Coast, Maitland and Port Stephens. If you’re not sure whether your site falls inside our service area, call us. It’s a quicker answer than guessing from a map
A defect notice comes with a deadline, and letting it sit doesn’t make the network forget about it. Metric Power inspects and rectifies Ausgrid and Essential Energy defects across Newcastle and the Central Coast, including private power pole replacement, so the notice gets cleared before it becomes a bigger problem.
A Level 2 electrician, also called an ASP or Accredited Service Provider, is licensed to work on and connect to the electricity network itself, including overhead and underground service lines, meters and private power poles. A standard licensed electrician can’t legally carry out this work. It requires separate accreditation from the network operator, in our case both Ausgrid and Essential Energy.
