Grid connection and approvals
Connectivity approval, inspectorate clearance and the utility sign off sequence through to commercial operation.
Connectivity and evacuation approval from the transmission utility, electrical inspectorate clearance, and the sequence of utility sign offs covering testing, charging, synchronisation and commercial operation. Each has its own documentation requirement and its own queue, which is why they are started early rather than at completion.
What this includes
- Connectivity and evacuation application and follow through
- Electrical inspectorate clearance
- Utility documentation and compliance submissions
- Testing and charging coordination
- Synchronisation and trial run
- Commercial operation declaration
- What you receiveOutput
- Plant charged, synchronised and exporting under approval
- When you need itTiming
- Started at design stage, closed at commissioning.
Underestimating queue times. Approvals are sequential and each one waits on a body with its own backlog, so a late start compounds.
Delivered by our own team together with vetted specialist partners and, where the question needs it, a named member of our expert bench. We tell you who is doing the work before the engagement starts.
