§03Questions

Frequently asked questions

Q01What does a grid connection consultant do?

A grid connection consultant helps a project get connected to the electricity network on workable terms. Typical work includes assessing capacity at candidate sites, preparing applications to the DNO or NESO, reviewing and negotiating connection offers, managing queue position, and commissioning technical studies.

Q02How is this ranking calculated?

Every listed consultancy is scored with the same published formula covering track record, service breadth, network coverage, verification and experience. The weights and rules are on the How we rank page.

Q03Do I need a consultant to apply for a grid connection?

No. Anyone can apply directly to a DNO or to NESO. Developers use consultants to save time, avoid costly mistakes in applications, and get a second opinion on the terms and cost in a connection offer.

Q04How are grid connection consultants paid?

Common models include fixed fees for feasibility studies and applications, day rates for advisory work and, occasionally, success-related fees. Ask for a written scope before you commit.

Q05What is the difference between a DNO and a transmission connection?

Distribution connections are made to the local network operator (the DNO), typically up to 132 kV in England and Wales. Transmission connections are made to the high-voltage network and are applied for through NESO in Great Britain or SONI in Northern Ireland.
