A large housing development comprising 1,600 homes and commercial units faced a critical challenge when the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) provided a restricted Point of Connection (PoC). The site’s energy demands required significant network reinforcement, which risked long delays and potential demobilisation of the development team.

Through extensive negotiation and technical engagement with the DNO and its departments, an alternative solution was identified that provided certainty for the developer and enabled construction to progress without long-term delays.

Key Outcomes:

✔ Identified a feasible solution that avoided unnecessary reinforcement delays.
✔ Enabled the build programme to continue without interruption.
✔ Demonstrated how technical expertise and strong industry relationships can deliver cost-effective, timely solutions.
