Electricity Network
Connection Appointments
For WPD customers and independent connection providers
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.
For details of our operational area
please visit our website
Please mention that your enquiry is for connection appointments when you call.
