What is a Safe Isolation Provider (SIP)?
A SIP is an accredited Meter Equipment Manager (MEM) authorised by the Retail Energy Code to perform electrical isolation tasks legally. This includes safely de-energising and re-energising meter points to ensure secure work conditions for any electrical maintenance or upgrades within properties.
Why Choose a Safe Isolation Provider?
As of June 2023, businesses like yours must engage a registered Safe Isolation Provider (SIP) for electrical isolation services on your premises. This guide will help you understand the legislation and its benefits for property managers, including housing associations and landlords.
Understanding the Legislation
Thanks to Ofgem’s new regulations, only registered SIPs can undertake electrical isolation work at residential and commercial properties. Previously, energy suppliers chose the MEM, limiting flexibility for property owners. Now, you can select any accredited SIP regardless of your energy supplier. This change simplifies maintenance across properties, especially when dealing with multiple energy providers.
Advantages for Property Managers
For those managing extensive property portfolios, this regulation eliminates many barriers. Instead of coordinating with numerous parties (such as energy suppliers and various contractors), you can now partner directly with a SIP like ChargedEV for all your electrical isolation needs.

Streamlined Project Management
Partnering with a SIP offers seamless planning and execution for both planned and emergency electrical projects. This is increasingly important for property managers implementing low- and zero-carbon technologies like EV charge points, solar panels, and heat pumps. ChargedEV can manage isolation services that enable these installations efficiently, minimising delays and logistical challenges.

Isolator switches can be installed by qualified electricians, but only a SIP can legally manage the required de-energisation and re-energisation processes. At ChargedEV, we’re not only SIPs but also experienced electrical contractors, offering a full-service approach to switch installations.
