NESO further extends connections reform submission window

The deadline for submitted evidence under the Connections Reform process has now been extended to at least the middle of August.

Energy generation and demand projects with an existing connections agreement have been invited to submit evidence to showcase their readiness and strategic alignment with the UK’s energy goals.

However, there have been a number of issues with the portal and NESO has now said it will give 10 working days’ notice before the window closes and that the notice will be issued no earlier than 4 August.

“We share our customers’ view that it is important that all have a reasonable opportunity to submit their application and supporting evidence,” it said. 

“We encourage all customers to continue to submit applications early and raise any queries they have so we can provide support as early as possible.  Your feedback is vital, and we are committed to supporting you throughout this process.”
