Connections Surgeries for ICPs and IDNOs

Our monthly surgeries are an opportunity for ICPs and IDNOs to talk to our team about any planned connections projects and benefit from their local knowledge of the network.

Our surgeries are held once a month and can be delivered via Microsoft Teams, over the telephone or in-person. If you're considering a new connection and would like to explore your options before making an application, you can request an appointment with one of our engineers.

Once you've registered, we will be in touch to confirm the time of your appointment. When registering, Eventbrite will automatically issue you with a ticket, please note that your appointment is not confirmed until we contact you. In the event your don't hear from us, email cinc.connections@northernpowergrid.com or call us on 0113 241 5245 and ask to speak to a member of the Competition in Connections team.

Surgery appointments will last no longer than an hour and you'll be able to discuss a maximum of five projects during that time. You will not be able to change or add to the list of projects you wish to discuss once your appointment has been confirmed.

Following your surgery, we will be in touch to gather your feedback, this helps us ensure that the surgeries are providing you, our stakeholders with the information you need, in a suitable format.

We have a limited number of appointments available each month. Please don't request a surgery unless you are an ICP or IDNO and have specific projects you would like to discuss. We request that you only book one ticket per customer, to ensure everyone that needs to is able to book a session. We can share joining details with your colleagues when we confirm your appointment time.

Please ensure you provide all the information requested during the booking process so that we can match you to the right Northern Powergrid engineer. We regret that we cannot progress your booking without the full information including the project name, location and postcode, connection date, technologies and capacity being considered.

Don't forget we also have a range of online tools and resources available that can help you perform your own upfront assessments and make more informed choices about how and where to connect, visit our website to find out more.
