Had a site visit today from Western Power to discuss the removal of the looped supply I have to my neighbour's property (WP are visiting all customers who have a looped supply and where a car charger has been installed [not mine]). Whilst we were discussing the work and the routing of the new supply cable to the meter cabinet, the sureyor offered to install a 3 phase supply. The existing meter would be retained and I would have access to just one phase unless I wanted more power at a future date. Aside from a new meter cupboard which would be around 50% bigger (which is tucked away and generally out of sight) and which they will supply/fit, I can't see any downside to this proposal. No cost to myself. Currently on a 100A supply. Last month used 570Kw/h of Electricity. No plans for an electric car but who knows... Any reasons not to proceed?
