An Electrical Planning Report (EPR) is a document designed to help strata corporations evaluate their current electrical capacity and effectively plan for future electricity demands.

Yes, an EPR is mandatory if your strata corporation was established on or before December 31, 2023, and includes five or more strata lots.

The Strata Property Regulation sets deadlines for obtaining an EPR at the end of 2026 or 2028. We recommend securing your report earlier to avoid scheduling bottlenecks and ensure a comprehensive report at a competitive price.

An EV Ready Plan provides an analysis of your current electrical system and outlines a detailed strategy for making your complex EV Ready. This plan shows how to equip each residential unit with at least one EV Ready parking space.

EPR and EV Ready Plan are two separate documents. EPR provides a broad assessment of overall capacity and forecasting; while the EV Ready Plan focuses specifically on EV charging, acting as a supplement to the EPR and offering detailed strategies for meeting EV charging infrastructure needs.
