ASP stands for Accredited Service Provider. Level 2 ASPs are authorised by the local network operator — Essential Energy in the Northern Rivers — to work on the supply-side electrical infrastructure that connects properties to the power network. This includes metering, consumer mains, overhead and underground service lines, points of attachment, and private poles.
Only a Level 2 ASP can legally carry out this work. A standard licensed electrician can work on everything downstream of the meter and switchboard, but the supply-side scope requires the additional accreditation. For a plain-English breakdown of the scope, read our guide to what a Level 2 electrician is and when you need one.
Level 2 ASP work is available across the Northern Rivers, including for property owners looking for an electrician in Lismore, or an electrician in Byron Bay.

The most common triggers are Essential Energy defect notices, new property connections for builds or subdivisions, supply upgrades for higher-load appliances like EV chargers or three-phase equipment, and temporary builders power for construction sites. If the work involves the meter, the mains cable, the point of attachment, or the private pole, it requires a Level 2 ASP.
Electric East Electricians responds to Essential Energy defect notices promptly — some defect categories carry compliance deadlines that must be met to avoid disconnection.

I recently had a few electrical jobs done around the house, including installing ceiling fans and new lights, repairing my solar system, and a few others. Everything was completed without any issues, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Communication was easy, the work was done neatly, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does. It's nice to have someone who turns up when they say they will and gets the job done properly. I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable electrician, and I'll definitely be using him again in the future.
