Representative experience

Examples of grid advisory work.

A selection of anonymised examples across demand, generation and storage. Each one summarises the issue reviewed and the decision supported.

Transmission · Solar & BESS

Grid and programme strategy for transmission-scale generation

Supported connection and delivery strategy for several-hundred-megawatt solar and battery projects. Work included interpreting offer and works-agreement dependencies, testing enabling-work assumptions and keeping the grid position aligned with the wider development programme.

Outcome: clearer decision points, sharper ownership of interface risk and a more credible route through network-company engagement.

Distribution · Offer diligence

Connection offer review and technical challenge

Reviewed distribution connection positions where reinforcement scope, charging treatment, power-quality conditions or queue sequencing materially affected the project. Converted the offer into a focused set of technical and commercial challenges for the network company.

Outcome: a firmer acceptance decision and an evidence-based route to resolve the points that did not stack up.

Wind · ANM

Independent curtailment and access-risk review

Pressure-tested curtailment assumptions for a constrained wind connection, including the relevant network assets, queue cases and sensitivity to project attrition. Structured the analysis so the client could distinguish the network company view from a reasoned independent case.

Outcome: better-quality investment assumptions and a clear data request for the network company.

Large demand · Due diligence

Connection strategy for an identified 50–200 MW site

Advised on distribution versus transmission routes, phasing, application timing and the evidence needed to test an early-stage data-centre opportunity. The work reviewed the actual site and network position. It did not involve sourcing capacity.

Outcome: a staged review, with weak assumptions identified before a full application or major land commitment.

Hybrid · Shared infrastructure

Connection structure for generation, storage and demand

Assessed how import, export, licensing, Grid Code and shared-asset decisions changed the viability of a multi-technology project. Compared structures rather than allowing the electrical arrangement to be fixed before the commercial model was understood.

Outcome: a clearer preferred structure, with regulatory and network actions separated from design work.

Portfolio · Screening

Prioritising the strongest grid positions

Reviewed prospective sites and live offers across distribution and transmission, ranking them by connection credibility, reinforcement exposure, programme dependency and the quality of evidence available.

Outcome: development time and advisory spend focused on opportunities with a defensible route forward.
