Eclipse Power Networks to Adopt 132kV Network
Eclipse Power were a valuable partner to us as the chosen IDNO for the Minety Battery Storage project. During the early stages of the project, Eclipse were able to suggest innovative design solutions for the network connection, driving a significant grid connection cost saving, and enhancing project economies. Their ‘can do’ attitude, technical network experience and commercial understanding assisted in liaison with both the local DNO and our selected ICP. We look forward to continuing to work with Eclipse on new opportunities in the future.
