Budget Estimates and Feasibility Studies
Budget Estimates
If you are planning to connect to our network and you would like an estimate of the likely cost of the connection before you make a formal application to us, we can provide you with a Budget Estimate.
This is a desktop exercise and will not involve a site visit, any analysis of the wider network or any technical studies. A Budget Estimate is free of charge.
If would like a Budget Estimate you will need to provide us with the following information:
- Customer name and address (correspondence address), other contact details and preferred method of contact
- Site address including postcode
- OS Grid Reference of the site
- Site plan at an appropriate scale to indicate the site boundary
- Total maximum capacity (kVA) requirement
- Summary technical details of any electricity generator that is required to operate in parallel with the supply
- Summary technical details of any customer owned equipment that is likely to cause disturbance to the electricity supply (i.e. large motors, welders etc.)
Feasibility Studies
We can also undertake a more detailed Feasibility Study to establish the viability of making a connection to our network. We will carry out preliminary network analysis and provide an indicative connection assessment which will include the results of network analysis and an outline of the engineering scheme for the connection. We will require payment in advance of the feasibility study being made.
A list of charges for Feasibility Studies is shown in Section 7 Part B of the Connections Charging Statement. Please click here and select the Connections Charging Statement for the relevant geographic area.
