Following the unprecedented growth in generation connections over the past decade, the challenges associated with grid connections have become more complex. The IGS team bring the industry knowledge and experience required to help navigate projects from the development phase through to construction and commissioning. Good reasons to select IGS include:

• IGS has experience of advising clients on connections ranging from 50 kW to 400 MW. IGS also have experience of all the types of generation technologies and connections at LV, 10 kV, 11 kV, 20 kV, 33 kV, 38 kV, 110 kV and 220 kV.
• IGS' engineers have advised projects through the connection offer process for Gate 1, 2 & 3. IGS have also advised multiple projects through the connection offer process in Northern Ireland.
• IGS is very active in the development of connection policy; both on behalf of clients and through its active role in the wind associations.
• IGS engineers bring experience of having worked for NIE, ESB, EirGrid and electrical contractors to the consultancy role.
• IGS have achieved substantial savings in the connection costs, timelines and constraints for projects. Savings in the connection costs in excess of 60% have been achieved for a number of projects.
• Information Database:

  IGS has developed an extensive database of information relating to a broad range of topics. These include an ArcGIS model of Northern Ireland and Ireland containing existing and planned transmission / distribution networks and generators. Other topics contained within our database include budget costs and technology data for a range of items including, but not limited to, overhead lines, underground cables, and substations.
