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
