Is the grid queue really first come, first served? – Catherine Cleary returns to the Modo Energy podcast

Connectologist® Catherine Cleary joined Ed Porter for her second appearance on the Modo Energy podcast.

Together, they discussed why Great Britain’s grid connection queue doesn’t work on a first come, first served basis, and why that misconception is costing developers time and money. From there, the conversation opened out into what’s really shaping who connects to the grid, and when, including:

• why the queue isn’t ordered by application date
• why gate two offers under TMO4+ are going out with technical errors
• NESO’s oversubscription numbers
• why demand customers are pushing for independent transmission owner (ITO) status
• what Ofgem’s latest signal means for future connections
