Substation Connections

Electrical Substation Specialists

Substations serve as vital access points for delivering mains power at safe voltage levels to both individuals and properties. While primarily owned by distribution network operators (DNO), they can also be under private ownership or managed by businesses. At Ward Utilities, we specialise in facilitating substation connections for all our clients, ensuring seamless integration into the National Grid network according to your specifications.

Our team of expert electrical contractors extends its services across a wide geographical area, including Kent, London, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Hampshire, and Cambridgeshire, with the capability to provide nationwide coverage.

Why Connect to a Substation?

Substations serve multiple pivotal functions. Primarily, they serve as conduits linking the main network to distribution networks, which in turn supply power to both residential and commercial premises. Additionally, substations can serve as pivotal connection points for generators to feed power into the system.

Tailored to specific needs, substations possess the capability to either step up or step down the input voltage. For instance, in domestic settings, substations play a critical role in transforming higher-voltage mains power into a safer, lower voltage suitable for household consumption.

At Ward Utilities Ltd, our adept electrical contractors specialise in establishing new substation connections to fulfill a variety of requirements, including:

Addressing escalating demand for power
Extending mains power to remote areas, properties, or facilities
Integrating new generators, such as those from emerging solar or wind farms
Providing temporary power during the construction of new properties
Equipping new developments with the necessary power supply
Linking properties situated far from existing substations to the power grid
