Multiple LCTs at the same property
Low Carbon Technology
Large projects to connect housing estates or large commercial buildings can be the perfect opportunity for companies to explore the installation of multiple types of low carbon technology (LCT). This can range from electric car chargers to heat pumps or solar panels.
When installing a combination of technologies or installing them gradually over a period of time, it's important to consider the amount of electricity that will be required. This is because certain technologies, such as heat pumps or electric car chargers, import electricity into properties while others, like solar panels, will export electricity back out to the network. Factoring in the electricity demand will allow the energy balance to be properly managed and optimised.
If you find that you need a new electricity connection or an upgrade to an existing electricity connection to accommodate multiple installations, we can help make sure that you get the most efficient, cost effective electricity connection to our network. All you need to do is complete our online form and include details of the types of equipment you want to install so that our teams can review your requirements and provide a suitable solution.
