Concrete Wall
We offer services across both distribution and transmission networks, including:
 
  • Feasibility assessments to identify viable connection points based on load/generation requirements
  • Capacity availability studies, using DNO heatmaps, LTDS, DFES, and National Grid data
  • Engagement with DNOs and National Grid ESO, including formal pre-application discussions
  • Preparation and submission of grid connection applications at 11kV, 33kV, 132kV and above
  • Support with milestone tracking and compliance, including TEC, ICP coordination, and A&D fees
  • Post-offer reviews to optimise terms and technical configurations Strategic advisory services for long-term capacity planning and clustering options.

A Race for Capacity​
Across the UK, grid capacity is becoming increasingly scarce—particularly in high-demand regions targeted for data centre expansion, EV infrastructure, and renewable generation. As demand accelerates and network constraints grow, early access to reliable connection points has become a source of competitive advantage. Connection queues are expanding, technical complexity is increasing, and reforms such as queue management, connection boundary changes, and flexible offers are reshaping how capacity is allocated. In this fast-moving environment, a delayed or incomplete application can result in years of lost opportunity.​
 
How We Help​
 
  • We don’t just help you apply—we work with you to:Understand network pinch points and unlockable capacity
  • Position your project competitively to secure capacity early
  • Navigate reforms and fast-track strategies
  • Avoid costly grid redesigns or connection downgrades.
​​
Whether you’re pursuing a utility-scale solar farm, BESS facility, or a multi-MW data centre deployment, we help ensure your project is grid-ready, future-proof, and commercially viable from day one.
