This month, our Spotlight section explains the far-reaching impact of NESO’s pause in transmission connection applications
The National Energy System Operator is pausing transmission connection applications. What does that mean? For one thing, readiness milestones are critical.
Alongside this, we’ve selected key developments in grid connections, solar power, wind energy, battery storage, hydrogen, geothermal, nuclear power, and eMobility, and explain their impact on developments.
From local councils developing on-site renewables to one of the first designations of ‘grey belt’ land for a battery storage scheme. Stay up to date with the latest power news and how power solutions are evolving.
