Scope of Work

Paragon Energy Networks was selected to deliver the 11kV new connection works for a multi-unit retail development in Edinburgh. Acting as the appointed ICP, we managed the full scope of works from design through to energisation, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding businesses and infrastructure.

  • Design and installation of HV/LV switchgear

  • Liaison with SP Energy Networks for grid connection approvals

  • Cable trenching and HV cable installation

  • Final testing, commissioning, and energisation

Key Challenges

  • Close proximity to existing infrastructure requiring staged works

  • Coordination with multiple contractors and phased site access

  • Strict delivery deadlines tied to retailer handover schedules

Our Solutions

Our in-house design team accelerated the approval process with SP Energy Networks by providing compliant, DNO-ready schematics at the initial submission. A phased installation schedule was developed to accommodate access constraints, while off-site cable preparation reduced install time. Constant communication with stakeholders ensured all key project milestones were achieved without delay.
