‘What’s changed, what’s coming: DNO connection coordination’ with David Boyer, ENA

“What’s Changed, What’s Coming: DNO Connection Coordination — with David Boyer and the Connectologists®“

The connections landscape keeps evolving. Reform of the queue for transmission capacity is underway. Application processes have changed. Queue management guidance has been updated.

Join the Connectologists® and David Boyer, Director, Electricity Systems at Energy Networks Association, as they explore connection reform impacts and DNO coordination.

The session will discuss:

• what are the primary changes we have seen for distribution connecting projects through 2024 and 2025
• which recent changes are still to be seen by projects (and what to watch for)
• where could DNO coordination strengthen your future connections
• what are some recommended solutions DNOs and ENA could develop

This session looks both at what’s changed over the past 18 months and what’s coming next, focusing on practical coordination challenges facing low carbon generation, energy storage, data centres, industrial and real estate projects. It combines ENA’s system-level perspective with the Connectologists’ frontline project experience.

Your input will help shape the session. Submit questions beforehand using this Microsoft form. Share your recent experiences. Help identify where coordination matters most.
