Power management & metering partner for telecoms infrastructure
We’ve been involved in the roll out of every single UK cellular network upgrade, from 2G to 5G, working with the UK’s leading telecommunications companies and mobile operators.
Power management services for your cellular network
We are specialist partners providing power management services for telecoms network projects from feasibility studies, procurement, and wayleaves, through to the delivery of electrical connections, metering and submetering.
Scoping
Our initial scoping solutions give you complete assurance over the feasibility of your proposed cell site location and all the information you need to proceed with connections works.
Using our knowledge of the existing electricity networks we can identify areas that are likely to be able to provide a DNO connection without significant reinforcement, aiding you with the selection of a suitable location.
When you have identified your location we provide the nearest suitable connection point, including network maps, highlighting any engineering difficulties as well as expected costs and timescales.
Project management and delivery
We manage and deliver the entire DNO and connections process on your behalf, whilst as an accredited Meter Operator (MOP) our in-house engineers provide full metering installation.
DNO Management
We formulate your connections application to the DNO for quotation, ensuring costs and designs are appropriate, and facilitate payment.
Wayleave Management
During the quote acceptance process, we liaise with the DNO Wayleave team, identifying any issues that may become protracted and advise where specialist support may be required.
Connections Management
We obtain and register the MPAN with your chosen energy supplier, and liaise with all stakeholders to arrange meter installation, jointing and power on.
Metering Services
We supply and install your meters, as well as providing engineers to conduct fuse pulls, isolator installs, and on-site engineering advice.
