Grid Connections Consultancy
Vattenfall’s Grid Connections Consultancy provides expert support to accelerate your connection to the UK grid.
Securing power from the grid is essential for any development project. But many businesses lack the relevant expertise to navigate the complexities of the process and avoid being over-charged.
Our dedicated team of experts removes the pain of securing new and upgraded grid connections by providing bespoke consultancy, or managing the entire process on behalf of our clients from application to energization and ongoing operation and maintenance.
Our unique Grid Capacity Insights Platform enables us to show developers where power is available for their projects. The platform provides detailed data on power availability, grid constraints, and capacity by voltage for any location, helping solar and BESS project developers, and large industrial energy consumers avoid delays and failed grid applications.
