The Reason.....
Installing large scale or Commercial EV infrastructure will require a new electrical connection leading to calculations, applications and additional costs.
We can handle the complete process by:
- Calculations size of connection required
- Apply for connection with regional DNO
- Engage with ICP & IDNO partners
- Provide Turn-Key Project Management
DNO & IDNO
A Distribution Network Operator (DNO) is a company licensed to distribute electricity in the UK. These companies own and operate the system of cables and towers that bring electricity from the national transmission network to our homes and businesses.
IDNOs develop, operate and maintain local electricity distribution networks anywhere in Great Britain.
IDNOs connect to the local distribution network or to the transmission network to serve new housing and commercial developments and are responsible for managing and operating their local networks, including all future maintenance and fault repairs.
ICP's
An Independent Connection Provider (ICP) is an accredited company that carries out works on behalf of clients on the electricity network. Networks that are built or operated by ICPs will be adopted by either a DNO, or IDNO.
An ICP can carry out Contestable Works on behalf of a client.
Examples of Contestable Works include:
- Installation of cables (High Voltage and Low Voltage)
- Substation installation
- Cable Jointing
- Network Connections
Commercial customers can choose to employ an accredited contractor (ICP or IDNO) to carry out 'contestable' elements of the works.
