Talk to us now about how we can make your life simpler through hassle-free electricity connections to the grid.
Why choose an IDNO?
A traditional Distribution Network Operator (DNO) is limited to a geographical part of the UK. An independent DNO – like Eclipse Power Networks – can operate nationwide. We can also be more flexible in the way we interpret the standards set by DNOs – many of which vary from region to region.
Unlike DNOs we can also pay you an Asset Value when you join our network. In other words we buy the electricity network that you install in your development and manage it from then on. A DNO is legally barred from paying you anything for your assets.
Benefits of using an IDNO
As an OFGEM licensed Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO) we provide you with an effective alternative to using the local DNO. This means that Developers, Contractors and Independent Connection Providers (ICPs) can gain significant benefits over the standard DNO connection
to the National Grid – all delivered by a team of highly experienced experts in the electricity connections industry. Being a licensed IDNO allows us to design, own and maintain electricity networks throughout Great Britain (GB).
When you work with Eclipse Power Networks, we will:
Submit a National Grid Point of Connection (POC) application for your development
Negotiate with the DNO and National Grid for the best solution on your behalf
Pay you a significant Asset Value Contribution to adopt the new electricity distribution network
Provide cost efficient Technical Standards that can be significantly lower than the equivalent DNO price
