Projects we support

Built for large-scale renewable energy.

Commercial and utility-scale projects from 1 MW upwards. Sub-1 MW fits our standard G99 service instead.

Solar farms & commercial rooftops

Ground-mount and large commercial PV, from 1 MW upwards.

Standalone BESS

Battery storage from 1 MW commercial through to 100 MW+ grid-scale.

Co-located hybrid schemes

Solar plus BESS with shared connection and export limitation.

Major loads & electrification

Significant new demand and industrial electrification projects.

How it works

From feasibility to energisation.

01

Feasibility

Establish what the network can accommodate before the design is locked.

02

Application

Prepare and submit the technical connection application.

03

DNO liaison

Manage queries, chasing and technical correspondence through assessment.

04

Offer & commissioning

Review the connection offer with you, then manage through to energisation.

Not sure yet if the site is viable?

Start with a grid connection feasibility study.

Before you commit significant time and capital, we can approach the relevant DNO to establish what the network is likely to accommodate, and what that means for your business case.

  • Indicative import & export capacity
  • Potential network constraints
  • Likely reinforcement requirements
  • Indicative connection costs
  • Indicative timescales

How we work

A dedicated grid connection team.

We shape the strategy, prepare the technical application, manage the DNO through assessment and coordinate specialist studies where required.

Connection strategy

Shape the request against network reality: capacity, constraints, ANM, export limitation and reinforcement.

Technical preparation

Compile the technical information, single-line diagrams, protection information and equipment data the DNO needs.

Active DNO management

Weekly updates, proactive chasing of design engineers, pre-empting technical queries before they delay the project.

Honest boundary

We're a grid connection team, not a power-systems consultancy. Specialist studies stay with your consulting engineer; we coordinate the process.

Connection offer review

Received an offer? Have it reviewed before you sign.

We walk through the offer with you, flag terms that matter to your business case (export restriction, reinforcement scope, timescales, connection charges, flexible/ANM conditions) and identify the questions to raise with the DNO before you accept.

What we need to get started

A short brief is enough.

  • Site information

    Address, boundary and proposed point of connection.

  • Target capacity

    Import and export requirements in MW / MVA.

  • Technology & configuration

    Solar, BESS, hybrid arrangement and any ANM assumptions.

  • Letter of Authority

    Permission for us to liaise with the DNO on your behalf.
