Grid Strategy & Risk Advisory
We support clients defining a clear, deliverable grid strategy at the earliest stages of a project, providing the insight needed to make informed decisions from the outset.
Our service includes:
- Network capacity assessments and connection feasibility
- Grid applications and ongoing management
- Identifying technical, commercial and programme risk
- Evaluating and comparing viable grid connection options
- Understanding network constraints and their implications
- Technical and commercial reviews of existing connection offers and agreements
By addressing grid considerations early, we advise how constraints may influence project scope, cost, programme and overall viability.
Hybridisation & Grid Led Asset Optimisation
We support grid-led optimisation of asset configuration to ensure projects are aligned with what the network can realistically support.
Our service includes:
- Advising on hybrid asset solutions
- Assessing export and import profiles against available network capacity
- Review pre-existing electrical infrastructure
- Connection agreement reviews
- Lease agreement reviews
- Defining hybrid operational strategies
- Propose hybrid solutions to enhance asset performance
Our approach ensures that asset design and commercial objectives are informed by network realities, helping maximise value while maintaining compliance and deliverability.
Pre ICP Grid Definition & Concept Design
Before engaging an Independent Connection Provider (ICP), we help define the grid solution clearly and accurately to reduce uncertainty at the point of procurement.
Our service includes:
- Defining the overall grid connection solution
- Establishing clear technical and delivery interfaces
- Identifying contestable and non-contestable elements
- Setting out grid scope at a concept-design level
- Aligning requirements with network operator expectations
By providing a clear grid definition and concept-level scope, we reduce ambiguity, support effective procurement, and enable smoother transition into detailed design and delivery. This early definition is critical in maintaining programme certainty and controlling downstream risk.
Grid Delivery Leadership
We provide grid delivery leadership and oversight to ensure grid-related activities are progressed correctly through early-stage planning, construction and energisation.
Our service includes:
- Providing technical and commercial leadership across grid delivery activities
- Acting as the interface between clients, designers, contractors and network operators
- Coordinating grid-related scope
- Connection agreement reviews
- Managing grid risk with project objectives
- Supporting compliance, programme management and technical decision making
By maintaining clear leadership and oversight, we help ensure grid requirements are delivered efficiently and safely, supporting early-stage planning through to project completion.
