SSEN has developed a framework for build-and-flex network investment decisions. The tool compares reinforcement with flexibility across connections, outages, curtailment, mobile generation, and seasonal working patterns.
-
NESO will exclude distributed assets from reactive power market participation. Voltage problems originating within distribution networks will remain the responsibility of DNOs and emerging distribution-system operators.
-
Powernaut now coordinates DSG’s Dutch renewable portfolio through one platform. The system connects distributed solar and battery assets with day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and congestion-management markets.

Aarsleff will build major onshore facilities for Bornholm Energy Island. The DKK3.7 billion contract covers converter halls, a 400kV substation, and infrastructure linking Baltic offshore wind with Danish and German grids.
-
Grid delays are already restricting industrial investment and company growth. Roadnight Taylor’s survey identifies a wide gap between expected and realistic connection times, with consequences for expansion, electrification, energy costs, financing, and UK site selection.
-
VDE has defined two control models for apartment EV charging. The guidance covers shared electrical connections, building energy management, temporary network intervention, installer responsibilities, and the staged addition of chargers and other flexible loads.
-
Eastern Green Link 2 has entered its principal construction phase. The 2GW HVDC connection will run between Peterhead and Drax.
-
IN Power Issue 3 examines electrification beyond headline generation figures. The complete summer magazine is free to read, covering microgrids, grid resilience, conductor materials, and industrial power quality.
-
Waldevar has integrated high-voltage construction capability through Elemo’s acquisition deal. The new division will work across networks rated from 0.4kV to 750kV.
