Find out what the grid could support, before you commit.
We liaise with the relevant DNO to establish indicative connection capacity, network constraints, costs and timescales for renewable generation, battery storage and major electrical loads.
Before you design the project, understand the grid.
A feasibility study makes sense when you're considering a project but don't yet know whether the local network can accommodate it. It gets the grid question answered before it becomes an expensive assumption.
Solar farms
Understand potential export capacity before committing land option payments.
BESS projects
Establish indicative import and export capacity before locking in MW/MWh.
Commercial solar
Understand whether the project is likely to face restrictions or reinforcement.
EV charging hubs
Investigate available demand capacity at the proposed site.
Multi-site portfolios
Use feasibility as an early filter before deploying further development capital.
Electrification & major loads
Understand the network's likely position on significant new demand.
What we investigate
Indicative answers to the questions that decide the project.
Depending on the project and the information available from the DNO, we'll seek to establish the key parameters that determine whether the project is worth progressing.
Note the deliberate use of the word indicative. A feasibility response is not the same as a binding formal connection offer.
- Whether a connection appears feasible
- Indicative generation and export capacity
- Indicative demand and import capacity
- Known network constraints
- Potential reinforcement requirements
- Indicative connection costs
- Indicative connection timescales
- Potential connection options
- Considerations before formal application

DNO fees are not included
Some DNOs may charge their own assessment, design or feasibility fees depending on the project. These are separate from our fee and will be communicated to you where applicable.
Multiple sites?
Portfolio pricing available on request.
What we need to get started
A simple onboarding process. If you don't have everything, that's fine, we'll help you work out what's appropriate.
Site location
Address or coordinates.
Site boundary
Boundary plan and, where known, point of connection.
Project requirements
Proposed technology and indicative capacity.
