Reconstruction of an electrical network

There could be several reasons for reconstructing an electrical network in the course of its relocation or while changing the location of the connection point. For example, when you want to transfer the connection point to the border of your property.

Relocation of a junction box

We can relocate a junction box on your property if it is in the way of a new gate or something similar. We will agree on the new location when we do the work.

How much does it cost to reconstruct an electricity network?

The cost of reconstruction varies from site to site and depends on the volume of work required. The price will be specified while drawing up the quotation. Some sample prices and work descriptions have been given below.

SAMPLE 1

Converting overhead transmission lines to underground cables in order to free the premises

Can relocation works only be ordered from Elektrilevi?

In some cases you may organise the design and/or construction works of the electricity network yourself. In that case you will need to sign a three-party agreement between Elektrilevi, yourself and a qualified company that you have chosen to do the electrical work.

Read more about the three-party agreement

Under a three-party agreement you can do construction works on the electricity network:

  • To make a new connection to a medium-voltage network
  • To change medium-voltage consumption conditions
  • The joining of an electricity producer at low voltage from 16 kW and at medium voltage;
  • The changing of conditions of an electricity producer at low voltage from 16 kW and at medium voltage;
  • To reconstruct the network, relocate a low or medium-voltage power line or a substation's electrical installation owned by Elektrilevi, or to replace an overhead line with an underground cable. This may be necessary if an overhead line is to be removed from a site, to allow large-scale reconstruction of the electricity network due to reconstruction of roads and streets, etc.
  • To sign a three-party cooperation agreement, you must submit to us a free-format written application. If you want to sign a three-party cooperation agreement only for a design project, you must also submit a quotation from the company you have chosen to do the electrical work. The design project must be submitted via the Elektrilevi Partners Portal and meet specific criteria. The prerequisite of accepting the design project is the existence of individual land usage agreements concluded for the benefit of Elektrilevi OÜ. Such agreements can be ordered and concluded via the Land Service department of Eesti Energia.

    If you also want to organize the construction, a three-party agreement must be signed between yourself, your chosen contractor and Elektrilevi within 1 year from the project having been accepted. Similar to planning, a quotation from a contractor chosen by you must be submitted to sign a three-party agreement for carrying out construction works.

    The management, owner supervision and acceptance of construction works is carried out via the Elektrilevi Partners Portal. The right of ownership over the reconstructed electricity network will belong to Elektrilevi.


    Companies that meet the following requirements may do electrical work in our network:
  • The company must be qualified for performing electrical work
  • The company must have done or delivered work for us within the past 24 months, or be on our list of partners for urgent failure repairs, and
  • The company must have no tax arrears.
  • After signing a three-party agreement, you will have to pay a handling fee for the agreement and a project management fee, which is 3.35% of the total cost of the work agreed.

    Depending on the technical solution of the work carried out, fees for automation work and the cost of the measurement system might also apply.

    Works that may be involved in the relocation of an electrical network:

    EXAMPLE 1

    Converting overhead transmission lines to underground cables in order to vacate an area

    Potential works:

  • design (a project is prepared, during which the necessary land use contracts are concluded);
  • project management;
  • disassembly of the existing overhead line;
  • digging of a new cable ditch;
  • installation of an underground cable with the necessary accessories;
  • preparation of as-built drawings;
  • measurement tests and application for an authorisation for use;
  • installation and assembly of a new junction box due to the relocation of the connection point (conversion of an overhead line to underground cables);
  • construction of terminal poles (installation of new stays).
  • If the location of a connection point or junction box changes, the customer has to construct an electricity system from the new junction box to the house (a cable from the junction box to the house).

    Approximate cost: 5,400 euros.

    The cost of your works is determined during the preparation of the offer.

    EXAMPLE 2

    Relocation of a ground junction box

    Potential works:

  • design (a project is prepared, during which the necessary land use contracts are concluded);
  • project management;
  • digging of a new cable ditch;
  • installation of a new underground cable with the necessary accessories;
  • preparation of as-built drawings;
  • measurement tests and application for an authorisation for use;
  • installation and assembly of a new junction box.
  • In addition, the customer has to construct an electricity system from the new junction box to the house (a cable from the junction box to the house).

    Approximate cost: 24,400 euros.
