Connection Appointments
Western Power Distribution (WPD) is the electricity distribution network operator (DNO)
for South Wales, South West England and the Midlands.
We operate the regional electricity network and provide new connections to homes,
businesses and generation sites at voltages from 230 volts to 132,000 volts.
Ahead of applying to us for a new connection and particularly for Generation Connections,
our customers and Independent Connection Providers (ICPs) often have questions and
want to understand more about the process, timescales, technical matters, consents/legal
requirements and possible constraints of making a connection to the network in a
particular area.
If you are a landowner, an ICP, developer or community group and you need to discuss your
requirements and the connection process, before making an actual application for a new
connection to the network, please contact WPD on the relevant number below.
