IDNO/ICP

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hello Chaps/Chapesses, 

I've been asked to look at using an IDNO/ICP to undertake the contestable part of a new connection, the client is hoping it will save some money rather than the DNO doing all the works. The list of providers is slightly overwhelming so I thought I would see if anyone has done this before and had any recommendations? 

It's a new 500kVA substation and 7 individual 3 phase connections to industrial units. 

Thanks in advance!

    an explanation of what is an IDNO or ICP might be a good place to start Amanda . most of us probably know what a DNO is

    An independent distribution network operator or Independent connection provider. This site is in SP Energy networks area but 80% of the work is contestable and can be done by another company on their approved IDNO list. I'm looking to see if anyone else has gone down this route before and if its worth it. New connections are usually stressful enough without getting more parties involved :)
