Consent to transport a high load may be conditional on us carrying out a route survey first to confirm the height of the power lines at road crossings and possibly requiring an escort to ensure the safety of the load and our lines.

To apply for a High Load Consent, please visit www.powerline.co.nz. This site is designed to make it easier for customers in the South Island to apply for High Load Consents, especially when travelling across several network areas.

It is important to apply for consent to prevent harm that will result should a high load come in to contract with an overhead power line.
