Why we do it
As an Ofgem-licensed Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO), we specialise in electricity connections – helping projects connect to the grid quickly, safely and with less complexity.
Demand is rising fast – driven by electrification, renewables and new technologies – but connections haven’t kept pace.
We’re here to change that.
By supporting sustainable infrastructure, we help developers, operators and communities move forward with confidence.
We bring together people who want to make a real difference – a team passionate about innovation and committed to a cleaner future.
We believe connections don’t just power projects – they power progress towards net zero.
