WR1.HK / PRACTICAL GUIDE
WR1 for CLP and HK Electric: supply, reconnection and load changes
Confirm the work and supply company first. WR1 records completion of electrical work; the supply company confirms its connection arrangements.
Sources checked: 25 October 2026Identify the application
New supply, reconnection, a load change and an account-name transfer are different requests. Check the bill and official application channels; requirements vary.
CLP: prepare for inspection
CLP’s residential guidance calls for the relevant installation inspection. Complete the work, confirm the address and phase demand, arrange the REW’s attendance and a WR1 copy, and provide safe meter access.
HK Electric: prepare the documents
HK Electric’s application form identifies WR1 for new supply and load changes. Its notes require a completed certificate copy by inspection and an appropriate-grade REW on site. Confirm the requirements for the application.
Assess a load increase first
Have the responsible electrical team assess demand and the existing installation. CLP load changes require rising-main owner agreement; exceeding the permitted load needs the specified formal consent.
Certify after the required checks
The responsible REW signs and the corresponding REC endorses WR1 after the required work and checks. A quotation or draft PDF does not mean inspection has passed or supply is approved.
