Our network specialists work closely with your team to optimise your electrical capacity and network costs.

We’ll thoroughly assess your current electrical infrastructure and energy usage patterns to identify ways to maximise your current capacity and optimise your network tariffs.

If you require additional electrical capacity for an electrification or expansion project, we can help you identify the most cost-effective solution. This might involve exploring options for an agreement with your lines company to utilise spare network capacity at times when there’s less network demand or install a battery energy storage system (BESS) to provide capacity during peak times.

What we offer

We offer a range of services to help you explore the potential for more flexible energy consumption:

Get more from your current electrical infrastructure

Learn more

We’ll explore how you can get more from your current electrical infrastructure. Perhaps you have some spare capacity available when the rest of your site isn’t operating at full load. Or, maybe an existing coal or biomass boiler could provide the required security alongside a new electric boiler system, avoiding the need for enhanced network security. We can also implement metering technology to provide you with insights into your electrical infrastructure and key loads, helping you optimise operations.

Save costs by utilising spare network capacity

Learn more

By analysing capacity at your local substation and Grid Exit Point (GXP), we can uncover any spare capacity and identify potential investment triggers. We can also implement technology that enables you to utilise spare capacity. This approach allows you to optimise your existing infrastructure, helping you avoid unnecessary costs associated with upgrades.

Optimise your network tariffs to prevent unnecessary costs

Learn more

We can review your network tariffs to ensure you’re not paying more than necessary now or as your capacity needs grow. Since costs can be affected by how and when network capacity is utilised, we can also help you identify potential savings by optimising your energy consumption.

Reduce costs by participating in peak reduction programmes

Learn more

We can discuss with your local lines company the possibility of a customised agreement that includes demand management incentives for supporting network constraints, such as participating in peak reduction programs, and reducing consumption during network upgrades. If required, we can support you with this using our Simply Flex platform – a technology we can install that enables you to dynamically adjust your load to participate in these programmes.

How you benefit

Exploring these opportunities can help you:

Reduce operational costs

by avoiding unnecessary network upgrades and N-1 capacity requirements, resulting in more efficient resource use.

Lower emissions

by initiating projects more quickly, supporting your sustainability objectives.

Improve overall efficiency

through optimising site and network assets, ensuring you don’t pay more than necessary.
