Your power needs
Your Power Needs
Deadline for power orders is Friday 25th April.
Power at the NEC is supplied by two means:
- A mains supply that brings a requisite amount of power to your stand.
- That power is then distributed to your stand via three-pin UK sockets.
The NEC provides mains power as follows:
- 6A Main (1500watts)
- 10A Main (2400watts)
- 16A Main (3800 watts)
- *Larger options are available*
Sockets are added by our event contractors at a price per socket
All prices for this year can be found in our exhibitor pack.
How much power do I need?
Your power needs will depend on what you plug in. All devices have a power rating measured in watts. Just add up the wattage for each device to give you the size of the main you will need.
How many Sockets do I need?
You must pay for the installation and testing of each socket ordered through UKGE but remember you can add extension sockets to your installed socket.
Can I share a main?
You can share a main to save costs if the stands are on the same physical block. The power cannot cross an aisle.
You must arrange this with the other exhibitor, UKGE does not arrange this for you or split the costs on the invoice. One exhibitor must pay the main cost and arrange to be reimbursed by the other exhibitor(s).
Other notes on power
The power is shut down approximately 1 hour after the exhibition halls close, so if you wish to receive 24-hour power, please contact us. 24-hour power adds a 20% surcharge.
HOW TO ORDER POWER
Power is ordered through our exhibitor portal, which you will be able to access after your stand order is placed.
