Important Update: Pause in New Electricity Connection Applications Effective 29 January 2025
In light of Ofgem's recent decision regarding the transitional arrangements for the electricity connections process, NESO will be pausing the acceptance of new connection applications starting 29 January 2025.
This pause is crucial for transitioning to a streamlined connections process aimed at achieving clean power by 2030. Please note that during this period, National Grid's Research Assistant tool will not be updated.
