Grid Connection Applications

Grid Connection

We take the drawing up, submitting and managing of grid applications incredibly seriously – and this is reflected in the extraordinary success rates we achieve for our clients, such as Lightsource BP and Vattenfall. We increase the chances of securing a viable connection offer by up to five times more than the connections community as a whole.​

Grid Connection

Don’t leave your success to chance – use genuine, niche experts to create bespoke and robust applications​

To maximise your chances of achieving a cost-viable offer we undertake a detailed network study to identify the right technical connection solution for that specific part of the network, complete a tailored connection application with rigorous diligence, and manage the detailed process robustly and religiously. ​

Our connection applications cover a range of technologies, scenarios and voltages:​

  • Renewable generation (solar and wind), energy storage, EV charging, renewable heat, hydrogen electrolysis, nuclear
  • Commercial, industrial and housing developments and demand-led infrastructure investments  ​​
  • High voltage, extra-high voltage, 132kV, 275kV and 400kV connections​
