PSW Energy refined its scheduling approach in December 2025 for installations that need additional site, electrical, access, or commissioning work.
A project should receive the time required for its assessed scope. A standard allocation is not appropriate where the work involves additional complexity or where site conditions become clearer during planning.
Scheduling factors
The project team may allocate more time where work includes:
- switchboard alterations or other supporting electrical work
- backup or gateway equipment
- complex roof access or building conditions
- additional testing and commissioning requirements
- coordination with network, metering, or third-party work
- conditions that differ from the information available during the initial assessment
These factors do not automatically mean that a project is delayed. They mean the schedule needs to reflect the work, access, controls, and people required for the specific site.
Contract and project records
The current project schedule is the one communicated through the customer's contract and project record. Where the assessed scope or timing changes, the responsible team should explain the reason and provide the current scheduling position.
Customers should not rely on a general article as a promise of a fixed lead time. Equipment availability, approvals, weather, site access, project complexity, and external dependencies can all affect delivery.
Quality and safety
Scheduling is part of the delivery control, not separate from it. Enough time must be available for the required preparation, installation, inspection, testing, commissioning, and customer handover.
This approach connects the customer experience with PSW Energy's in-house field delivery and the group's HSEQ policy. The people and organisation record explains the leadership and field responsibilities behind that delivery model.
Customers with a current project should use their named project contact. Other enquiries can be directed through the McKercher contact page.
This article records a scheduling practice announced in December 2025. Project-specific communication remains the source for a current installation timeframe.
