Suzanna Lashford will be speaking at 11am in a session entitled: Cost effective grid connections - Electrification and the path to Net Zero for UK Ports:

IDNOs offer ports an alternative route to connect to the grid in order to secure the electrical power to transition to net zero. In this best practice session, Suzanna Lashford will outline the process and benefits of working with an IDNO including Asset Adoption Value (AAV) payments, which help reduce the total capital cost of new and upgraded grid connections.
