The Transmission & Distribution sector in the UK is one of the most dynamic and exciting electrical markets in the world, which is undergoing a rapid expansion due to the increasing penetration of  battery storage, onshore wind, offshore wind, solar PV and Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations.

The T&D sector covers a wide range of voltage levels and operations; from 275 / 400 kV transmission substations, through to smaller 132 / 33 / 11 kV DNO substations, and larger private and iDNO networks. Transmission & Distribution infrastructure owners are faced by a constant pressure of new connections, increasing demand and a need to reduce CAPEX and OPEX, whilst ensuring that all necessary performance requirements are met.
