New Build Supply Issue
Former Community Member
Has anyone here had an issue getting a connection to a new build, due to a substation being at full capacity? We are building in a residential area, albeit rural and on a plot of land that did have a property on it, although some years ago and upon requesting a temporary supply, the surveyor has informed me that I will have to pay to upgrade the network. When I asked about costs he said it could be anywhere from £10k to £100k. Obviously in a bit of a panic and thought I’d reach out to you experts and see if anyone could advise or alleviate my fast beating heart rate! Also, to ask if the old connection would have any bearing? Many thanks all.
One of my students requested UKPN to tell him what the neutral CSA was on a supply cable so he could calculate the size of bonding he needed to install. Person comes to site and cannot answer the question and 2 weeks later gets an invoice for £300 as a standard survey charge.
