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.
We offer two Grid Consultancy services:
Simple Grid Connections: For projects less than 2MVA that do not have a grid offer.
Full Grid Connections Consultancy: For projects over 2MVA that need bespoke support.
