What is Grid Check?

The UK electrical grid is a complex and evolving system, currently undergoing significant transformation to meet the growing demand for electricity. Apogee frequently observes the impact that the availability of electricity capacity has on the feasibility, design, and progression of developments across the country. The Grid Check Report has been specifically developed to provide
early-stage insight into local primary substations electrical capacity (Headroom). It offers a clear snapshot of the available capacity near your project site area and includes a RAG (Red-Amber-Green) assessment of the potential risks associated with securing a new electricity connection. This assessment considers both Network. Headroom and the presence of competing inquiries from other developers in the area seeking connections in the same area.
