Power Networks
The energy industry and grid network is adapting to emerging technologies and hybrid solutions for generation and grid support. Working in both the onshore and offshore energy sectors, our team has extensive knowledge of the power network developed through decades of experience. We are optimally positioned to help you navigate the increasingly constrained GB grid, and for grid connection work globally, which we believe will become increasingly make or break for determining the viability of proposed development projects that can help take us to net zero.
Overview
SLR’s electrical engineering and grid experts operate within the renewable and low carbon sectors covering a broad range of work including power system studies, electrical system design, cable system engineering, consenting, procurement, construction, operation, code compliance and code amendment, political and regulatory matters, strategic advice, and commercial negotiations.

Dynamic cable rating studies
- Using dynamic rating tools to more accurately model the thermal performance of subsea cables, reducing costs and improving power transmission, leading to significant capex savings.
-
Grid connection studies
- A critical area for the success of new generation assets is the ability to connect to a grid connection or private wire, to ensure that generated power can be exported. We analyse substation connections for new generation projects, providing critical data on connection opportunities, grid viability, and associated costs, helping developers find the most suitable connections.
