Are you a Data Centre Owner or Operator?

As the UK’s data centre market continues to grow and mature, the challenge to meet the significant power demands and maintain resilience, while meeting sustainability pressures remains.

Data centre components require significant infrastructure to support the centre's hardware and software. These include power subsystems, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), ventilation, cooling systems, fire suppression, backup generators, and connections to external networks.

How we can help

We connect data centres to the electricity network and work closely with providers in the data industry to provide resilience and improve sustainability.

To facilitate the huge power demand of this, we work with clients to identify where on the local distribution or transmission networks they can obtain their electricity supply. This includes the design, build and commission of data centre supplies up to, and including, 132kv.

Are you a Developer?

Developers face many challenges as they plan a development from inception, manage the design, engage with relevant stakeholders and see the project through all stages, working with third parties, to completion.

How we can help

We connect new developments to the electricity network and work with our clients to identify the optimum solution to provide resilience and improve sustainability.

Delivering cost-effective and time-critical electricity connections, we continue to support developers to meet new and ambitious sustainability targets across many development types. This includes mixed use, warehouses, residential properties, industrial or commercial premises, hospitals and schools. We can also implement any improvements to local infrastructure including roads and transport links.

We deliver work associated with a connection to the distribution network, including:

• Cable laying, (LV, 11kV, 33kV & 132kV)
  
• Diversion or reinforcement of LV, 11kV or 33kV circuits
  
• Diversion or reinforcement of substations
  
• Erection of new overhead lines
  
• Installation of substation plant
  
• Cable jointing and termination
