Newcastle's Level 2 Specialists
Not all electrical work is the same — and not all electricians are qualified to do all of it. If you need work done that involves the electricity network, overhead service connections, metering, or anything that touches the grid infrastructure, you need a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider. That's exactly what we are.
NewSpark Electrical Solutions is a licensed Level 2 ASP based in Newcastle, servicing the Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Port Stephens and surrounding regions. We carry out the full range of Level 2 electrical services for residential, commercial and industrial clients — with 24/7 availability for emergencies.
What Is a Level 2 Electrician?
A Level 2 Electrician — officially known as an Authorised Service Provider (ASP) — is a licensed electrical contractor accredited to work on, or in connection with, the electricity distribution network in NSW. This is a higher classification than a standard electrician, and it comes with additional licensing, training and regulatory oversight.
There are two classes of Level 2 ASP:
- Level 2 ASP (Overhead) — licensed to work on overhead service connections and related infrastructure.
- Level 2 ASP (Underground) — licensed to work on underground service connections and infrastructure.
NewSpark Electrical Solutions holds full Level 2 ASP accreditation covering both overhead and underground work (AUP Number 6580), meaning we can handle the complete scope of Level 2 electrical services for your property.

Level 2 vs Standard Electrician
It's a common question and worth understanding before you book.
| Type | What They're Licensed To Do |
|---|---|
| Standard Electrician | Internal electrical work on your property — wiring, power points, lighting, switchboards, appliances. |
| Level 2 ASP | Everything a standard electrician does, plus work on the service connection between your property and the electricity network, metering, and infrastructure that interfaces with the grid. |
For many jobs — particularly new builds, property subdivisions, connection upgrades and solar metering — you'll need both a standard electrician and a Level 2 ASP. NewSpark can handle both, which means fewer contractors to coordinate and a smoother project overall.
