Last chance to secure your demand grid connection?
Critical insights ahead of NESO’s 21 March 2025 application deadline for transmission demand connections
Summary:
Are you a data centre, hydrogen electrolyser or industry looking to decarbonise? If yes, is March your last chance to secure a grid connection offer in 2025? With the National Energy System Operator set to pause applications for demand connections at transmission, the context for getting connection strategies right has rarely been more pressing for effected developers and investors. Note, given transmission includes 132kV in Scotland, your project could fall in scope.
Join Connectologists® Kyle Murchie, Catherine Cleary, and Pete Aston for a fully interactive session as they explore and debate key questions, including:
- Why the pause on demand applications? – How does Connections Reform directly impact schemes targeting the transmission network?
- What are the direct impacts on larger demand projects seeking distribution connections? Will the DNO still be able to submit a Modification Application to NESO?
- The Final Demand classification does bring its own challenges. What are the key points large demand, and in particular data centre developers, must consider?
Take this opportunity to gain insight into who will be the hyperscale demand connection winners, and what to do to become one.
