The grid operator opened a consultation on reforming how large industrial connection applications are queued and prioritised, including proposals to require evidence of project maturity before a queue position is retained.
- Stage
- Consultation open
Queue reform directly affects anyone holding or seeking a large connection, and the effect is immediate rather than deferred, because existing positions may need re-evidencing. Advisory demand tends to arrive during the consultation itself.
These are possible consequences, not predictions. AreaIQ states what could follow, and leaves the judgement to you.
