In this new episode, Brian Moorhead and David McDonald from eSmart Networks get together to discuss the capacity issues facing new renewable connections. With a large chunk of requests and enquiries to assist with ‘Private wire’ or ‘behind the meter’ connections. This episode summarises the potential grid issues with these installs and what you need to know before taking a private wire project forward.
We cover fault level impact, your legal obligations to get permission from the network operator and other considerations to be aware of when connecting Solar/Battery or Wind with a demand connection such as new commercial or industrial premises, an EV hub or a data centre.
