ELECTRICITY NETWORK CONNECTION SURGERIES 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. We understand that ahead of applying to WPD for a quote for a new connection and particularly for generation connections, people often have questions and want to understand more about the process, timescales, technical requirements and possible constraints of making a connection to the network in a particular area. We are therefore running 'Connection Surgeries' where our engineers will be able to assist you. The surgeries will run on the dates listed and enables interested parties (eg landowners, developers and community groups) to make a 30 minute appointment with an engineer to discuss their requirements and the connection process ahead of making an actual application for a connection to the network. CONNECTION SURGERY DATES To run at various regional offices in our distribution area. Surgeries will be held at office locations as close as possible to where most participants live. 9th JULY 2014 24th SEPTEMBER 2014 10th DECEMBER 2014 To find out more or to book an appointment, please call: SOUTH WEST & WALES: 0800 028 6229 MIDLANDS: 0800 121 4909 e-mail: wpdconnectsurgeries@westernpower.co.uk Please mention that your enquiry is for CONNECTION SURGERIES when you call.
