Cost Reduction
Cost Reduction
Connections customers generally assume that non-contestable scope and costs are fixed based on the offer they receive – so they focus entirely on reducing the contestable costs. However, in many offers there are cost savings to be found amongst the connection works that can only be undertaken by the DNO. Occasionally there are significant savings which can make a material difference to a project.
In other schemes, we can highlight where there is a significant risk that costs will increase from the DNO initial estimate, and we can help customers to explore and better understand.
On a regular basis we assess connection offers and deliver project-saving levels of efficiencies by reviewing and challenging proposed connection strategy, assumptions or the application of the Electricity (Connections Charging) Regulations.
