Before you sign: the DNO Connection Agreement checks that really matter
Recorded 25 March 2026
Most projects scrutinise their Connection Offer closely. Far fewer apply the same scrutiny to the Connection Agreement.
Developers and asset owners receive draft Connection Agreements from their DNO, often under time pressure, and frequently assume they reflect what was originally agreed. Increasingly, they don’t.
Across recent Connection Agreement Reviews, the Connectologists® are seeing operating assumptions drift, capacity figures shift, and commercial obligations look different from the original Offer — leaving some asset owners responsible for infrastructure they can’t easily access, or facing operational constraints they hadn’t planned for.
In this recording, Catherine Cleary, Philip Bale, and Pete Aston draw on recent reviews to walk through what tends to change between Offer and Agreement, where commercial and operational risk can quietly creep in, and what’s worth checking before you sign.
