Grid Strategy

Grid Strategy

Any significant network infrastructure investment envisaged for a complex project should be considered carefully – and well in advance of a connection application being submitted. A complex demand-driven masterplan encompassing large-scale housing and commercial development, or a multi-technology or multi-site low carbon technology project, for example, might be addressed in any number of technical or commercial ways – and within a complex and often ambiguous regulatory framework which is open to interpretation.

Missing this step may cost you dearly, and may leave you kicking yourself as unintended consequences of a myopic approach begin to emerge.
