grid connection

Our electrical power systems engineers can liaise between project developers and distribution network operators to ensure connections are made in the right locations to minimise costs and uncertainty.

For larger renewable projects (above 250kW) connecting sensibly to the electricity network can be a major headache for developers. Network operators can charge tens of thousands of pound simply to carry out feasibility assessments, and asking the right questions is vital.

Ensuring systems are designed to fit in with grid expectations and to meet statutory protection and other requirements is a specialist task. We employ the experienced engineers who can make this process as straightforward as possible, benefitting both project owners and electricity network operators.

Example projects

Bioenergy projects

We have acted for customers developing 1MW and 500kW bioenergy schemes in Northumberland and Warwickshire to smooth the process and minimise the costs of grid connection.

Wind turbine

We developed a detailed design for connecting a 330kW wind turbine to the distribution network, enabling an accurate cost benefit study to be completed for the project.
