Site
Describe the homes or the business
For new homes, enter them by bedrooms with the heating and car charging, and we work out the demand and whether a new substation is likely. For a business, enter the capacity for a new site, or the current capacity of an existing one, which keeps its TNUoS band.

Cost
Build the connection cost
Turn each block on or off and change its size: new substation, network cable, connections and the design fee. Each comes with a range from the connection charging statement, beside the quote deadlines and the yearly network charges. Download it all as a PDF.

The problem
The cost of connecting a site usually arrives with the quote
Whether a site can connect, what the works cost and what the charges will be each year all shape the deal. The figures behind each answer are published, but they are spread across open data portals and long charging statements.
Without them, a site is bought, designed or priced on a guess, and a new substation or a long wait for upgrades turns up late.
