DNO Renewables
Grid Connection Feasibility · UK-wide · Every DNO

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.

When feasibility is right

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
