DNSP engagement

Grid connection outlook

Dedicated high-voltage connection

About 1,263 kVA at 0.95 power factor. Expect a negotiated HV connection with a dedicated substation.

  • Engage the DNSP for a negotiated connection; an augmentation study is likely.
  • Allow capital budget for an on-site chamber or padmount substation.
  • Staged energisation can align grid works with fleet delivery timing.
Indicative connection lead time: 9–18 months.
