Power Networks
The energy industry and grid network is adapting to emerging technologies and hybrid solutions for generation and grid support. Working in both the onshore and offshore energy sectors, our team has extensive knowledge of the power network developed through decades of experience. We are optimally positioned to help you navigate grid connection work globally, which we believe will become increasingly make or break for determining the viability of proposed development projects that can help take us to net zero.
Overview
SLR’s electrical engineering and grid experts operate within the renewable and low carbon sectors covering a broad range of work including power system studies, electrical system design, cable system engineering, consenting, procurement, construction, operation, code compliance and code amendment, political and regulatory matters, strategic advice, and commercial negotiations.

-
Onshore and offshore cable system engineering
- Spanning electrical cable system design for offshore renewable projects, including concept to FEED level for export and array cable systems, thermal rating studies, test plans, and cost models. We also support onshore developers with challenging connections in complex environments with existing infrastructure.
-
Dynamic cable rating studies
- Using dynamic rating tools to more accurately model the thermal performance of subsea cables, reducing costs and improving power transmission, leading to significant capex savings.
-
Grid connection studies
- A critical area for the success of new generation assets is the ability to connect to a grid connection or private wire, to ensure that generated power can be exported. We analyse substation connections for new generation projects, providing critical data on connection opportunities, grid viability, and associated costs, helping developers find the most suitable connections.
-
Power systems modelling
- Undertaking power systems modelling and grid code compliance studies for renewable projects, and the wider electrical systems into which they are integrated.
-
Regulatory monitoring
- Tracking developments in grid policy and regulation, offering insights into potential risks and opportunities. Providing strategic support, consultation responses, guidance on navigating industry regulations and ad-hoc advice from our expert team.
