Electricity is something we all take for granted. We are taught from an early age that electricity can be dangerous, but it’s sometimes easy to forget this, particularly when the hazards it presents are not immediately visible or obvious.
Our new network project will revolutionise the way electricity is distributed and used in the future.
In both our distribution areas, our first priority is to provide a safe and reliable supply of electricity to our domestic, commercial and industrial customers alike.
Following consultation with key stakeholders, we have updated our Business Plan for our transmission business and submitted it to Ofgem.
If you are looking for a new or altered electricity supply connection from our network then we can help.
