Grid connection decisions affect cost, timing and project value.
The best time to assess connection risk is before submitting an application. We help you identify network constraints, test assumptions and understand your options while there is still time to act.
We explain what technical findings mean for your budget, schedule and contracts, so your team and delivery partners can make informed decisions.
Advisory capability
Senior advice across your grid connection project.
Focused support at the points where technical uncertainty can alter value, timing or bankability.
01Project feasibility assessment
A clear-eyed assessment of grid viability, constraints and commercial exposure before capital is committed.
02Grid connection strategyConnection strategy from R0 to R2, registration management and a practical path through technical approvals.
03GPS & access standardsGenerator Performance Standards development, negotiation and compliance support with AEMO and NSPs.
04Technical due diligenceIndependent assessment for acquisitions, investments, EPC contracts and division-of-responsibility risk.
05System strength & MLFConnection feasibility, system strength, curtailment and marginal loss factor risk assessment.
06Delivery leadershipProject management for renewable generation and large-load connections, with leadership and support through commissioning and R2 compliance.
A disciplined pathway
From first question to final compliance.
We stay involved as your project moves from feasibility to registration and commissioning, keeping the technical work connected to your project goals.
