Need a new or upgraded electricity supply?
From new-build properties and commercial developments to single-to-three-phase upgrades and increased electrical capacity, our team manages the DNO connection application from start to connection offer.
Electricity connections can get complicated quickly.
The network operator needs to understand what you're connecting, how much electricity the site requires, where the connection is needed and whether the local network can accommodate the requested capacity. Missing information, incorrect load requirements and unclear site plans can create delays. We manage the process for you.

We identify the network operator responsible for your site.
What do they need?

What happens next?
