Grid Connection.
Accredited ICP grid connections across the UK: new and upgraded power infrastructure, delivered turnkey from feasibility to energisation.
What is an ICP, and what do we do?
An Independent Connection Provider (ICP) is an accredited company authorised to design, build, and connect new electricity networks to the grid. At Gigawatt, we're fully certified to deliver ICP services that streamline the entire connection process, from initial design through to final energisation.
