At Paragon Energy Networks, we specialize in the design, installation, and commissioning of high-voltage electrical infrastructure for large-scale renewable energy projects. As Scotland accelerates its transition to a low-carbon future, our expertise in utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) ensures your renewable assets are connected safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with grid requirements.
Our comprehensive approach combines technical excellence in HV electrical engineering with deep understanding of renewable energy technologies, enabling us to deliver complete electrical balance of plant (BoP) solutions for projects of all sizes. From initial grid capacity assessments through to final commissioning and DNO adoption, we provide the critical expertise needed to bring renewable energy projects online successfully.
We can design and deliver electrical infrastructure for renewable energy projects ranging from 1MW to 50MW+. Our NERS accreditation enables us to undertake connections up to 33kV, suitable for most utility-scale installations in Scotland.
We maintain comprehensive knowledge of current grid codes, particularly G99 requirements for renewable generation. Our designs incorporate all necessary protection and control features, and our commissioning process includes detailed testing and verification to ensure full compliance.
Yes, as an accredited ICP, we can design and construct both the contestable (DNO-adoptable) and private network components of your renewable energy project, ensuring seamless integration between the two.
Our expertise in both technologies allows us to optimize the electrical infrastructure for hybrid systems, identifying opportunities for shared equipment, coordinated control strategies, and streamlined grid connections that can significantly reduce capital costs.
Our engineering team actively participates in industry forums, maintains close relationships with equipment manufacturers, and regularly updates our design standards to incorporate technological advancements and best practices in renewable energy systems.
