Grid connection consultancy
Bring network requirements and site delivery into one plan.
Coordinate the parties around the connection
Grid connection projects bring together the client, distribution network operator (DNO), independent distribution network operator (IDNO), independent connection provider (ICP), designers and site contractors. CDS Nexus provides delivery consultancy to clarify who owns each action and how the activities fit together.
From connection requirements to a workable programme
Support can include reviewing programme dependencies, coordinating design queries, tracking network and contractor actions and establishing readiness checkpoints. The aim is to expose missing information, access restrictions and construction interfaces early enough for the responsible parties to act.
Substations and EV infrastructure
Substation and EV charging programmes depend on more than equipment installation. Civils completion, cable routes, access, testing information and operational requirements must align. CDS Nexus coordinates these interfaces so the connection plan reflects the conditions on site and the needs of the delivery teams.
Energisation readiness and accountability
A readiness review can identify outstanding documents, unresolved construction issues and actions needed before commissioning or energisation. Network approvals and specialist technical decisions remain with the relevant network operator and appointed specialists. CDS Nexus helps maintain visibility of those dependencies and their programme impact.
Start with the outstanding constraint
Share the site location, network operator, connection stage, target date and outstanding issue. Whether the problem is an unclear interface or a sequence of blocked activities, the first task is to establish the facts and the decision routes.
