Why Halo
Power to your development is critical. But the process shouldn't be painful.
Electrical infrastructure can be one of the most complex parts of a development programme. Halo Networks manages the process from early design and utility coordination through to construction, metering and energisation, helping remove delays, reduce rework and keep your project moving.
We work directly with developers, consultants and local network operators to coordinate the electrical network around the needs of the development, rather than forcing the development to work around the network.

01 / DEVELOPMENT POWER STRATEGY
A smarter way to power your development.
Halo gives developers greater control over electrical infrastructure, helping reduce cost, simplify delivery and keep projects moving.
01
Reduce development contribution costs.
Halo only charges for the network infrastructure your project actually requires — not for maintaining somebody else's network down the road.
02
Improve programme certainty.
Take greater control of electrical delivery and reduce reliance on traditional utility timeframes.
03
Simplify coordination.
One team coordinating network design, utility interfaces, construction, metering and energisation.
04
Get power on sooner.
Plan electrical infrastructure around your construction programme, and achieve 223, 224, CCC, titles and settlement sooner.

02 / A CLEAR NETWORK PATHWAY
How Halo works.
01
Send us your project — share your development plans, electrical requirements and any existing network operator information, such as designs or works agreements.
02
We design the network — Halo develops an electrical network solution around your project, including the point of supply, internal reticulation, metering requirements and interface with the local network operator.
03
We coordinate and build — we manage the electrical infrastructure delivery, coordinating the required parties and construction works through to testing and compliance.
04
We liven the network — Halo issues the ICPs, coordinates metering and energisation, and brings the network into operation so your development is ready for connection.

03 / SCALABLE BY DESIGN
From 25 homes to 2,500. Halo scales with the development.
Halo’s network model can cater to residential developments from around 25 homes through to major, multi-staged communities of several thousand.
Halo can arrange the physical works through its own trusted civil and electrical contractors, or work with an approved contractor team already engaged by the developer. In either case, Halo defines the network requirements, oversees acceptance, and remains responsible for the network in the long term.

Common questions
A Halo network is a privately-owned electricity distribution network established for a residential development. It connects each home to the electricity market through its own ICP, while allowing residents to choose their preferred electricity retailer.
Halo can establish the development’s electricity network and issue individual ICPs for each home, rather than relying on the local network operator to provide every connection. This can substantially reduce the development and connection charges that would otherwise apply. Halo also reviews the proposed supply capacity, infrastructure layout and delivery model to identify further opportunities to avoid unnecessary cost, duplication or over-specification. The savings available depend on the development and existing network conditions, but can be considerable.
Yes. Halo works with trusted, established civil and electrical contractors that can deliver the physical network infrastructure to Halo’s quality, testing and documentation requirements. Their pricing is typically extremely competitive, and Halo does not add a margin to the underlying civil or electrical construction costs.
Yes. Halo can work with the developer’s existing civil and electrical contractors, subject to approval of the proposed team and the completed infrastructure meeting Halo’s design, installation, testing, certification and as-built documentation requirements.
Ideally, Halo should be involved during the early planning and design stages. This allows supply capacity, network layout, staging, responsibilities and the local network operator’s proposal to be reviewed before unnecessary cost or design constraints become locked in.
Yes. Halo operates the electricity distribution network but doesn't sell electricity to residents. Each home receives a unique ICP, allowing the occupant to choose from electricity retailers operating on the Halo network.
Once the completed infrastructure has been inspected and accepted, Halo owns and operates the network. Halo remains responsible for its long-term management, monitoring, maintenance, fault response and asset compliance.
Halo monitors network demand, utilisation, peak loading, available capacity and overall performance. This helps Halo manage the network proactively as homes are completed, occupancy increases and electricity usage changes over time.
Yes. Halo coordinates the electricity-network establishment, infrastructure acceptance, gate metering, ICP creation and energisation process for the development. Once the required network works have been completed and accepted, Halo can issue the electricity completion certificate required to support the section 224(c) approval process.
