Connecting new buildings to London’s power grid can prove expensive and complicated, with the capital’s electricity infrastructure heavily loaded.
Demand for housing and office space continues to increase, and while problems with connecting to London’s electricity supply do not halt building construction, substantial delays can occur.
Actual connection fees may not be that high, but associated network upgrades can add significantly to the costs and have to be paid for by the developer. Meanwhile, it is hard to estimate potential usage.
