New to the event and well received this year was the grid connection workshop. Steven Gough, innovation and low carbon network engineer, Western Power Distribution, one of the speakers, was encouraged by the feedback from farmers. "Farmers understood the grid, asked well informed questions, and even came to thank me at the end for making their grid connection opportunities clearer.” The grid connection session provided participants with the opportunity to discuss grid connection issues with experts and understand the processes, time scales and possible constraints involved. Companies taking part in this included Ofgem, Western Power Distribution and the National Grid.The participants for the workshop along with their topics can be found below along with the grid connection video. |
