What a fantastic two days at our Long Barn office in Burford having the team all together! 🎉 The two days have been full of collaboration, team building, podcast recording and mid-year reviews, followed by a well-deserved team curry last night! Although Pete Aston, Jenny Goward, and Polly Stevenson couldn’t join us for our team photo, we made sure to capture the moment outside our brand-new recording studio, the Cart Shed. We can’t wait for them to be back in the office next week! #TeamDay #Team #Teamwork

NEWS UPDATE Roadnight Taylor is now a Certified B Corp! 🌍 A huge thank you to everyone on our team – in particular to Emily Smith – and B Lab UK for making this possible. 🙌 Sustainability has always been at the heart of everything we do – it’s simply how we roll. We were particularly pleased to learn we didn’t need to do anything differently to achieve the certification. As the UK’s leading independent specialist grid consultancy dedicated to overcoming connection barriers for large-scale development projects, we serve the companies leading the charge for clean growth and tackle some of the biggest technical challenges of the energy transition. Joining this movement was important to us because we believe businesses which do the right thing should be the norm. We want to be part of a world where the question isn’t ‘are you a B Corp?’, but ‘why aren’t you a B Corp?’ We know that we are just one small part of this incredible momentum and we are over the moon to have joined our voice with those of other ambassadors for change. Together, we will lead the way to a greener, fairer future. For people and planet, business should always be a force for good. We are thrilled to have received this recognition and reaffirm our commitment to running a responsible, sustainable business with powerful environmental and social impacts.

In our latest webinar, Connectologists® Kyle Murchie, Pete Aston and Catherine Cleary outline some of the key changes proposed in Connections Reform. One of these key changes, highlighted by Catherine Cleary, is the new system of Self-Certification. She explains how the information gathering window and the assessment window have now been combined, and how developers will now self-certify that they have made the Gate 2 Criteria. She highlights how this will require trust, balanced with ramifications for those that abuse it. The consultation period closed yesterday (Tuesday 6th August, 5pm). 💬Join the conversation and let us know whether you completed the consultation and what you think of the changes in the current proposals. 💡To learn more about some of the questions we have identified regarding Connections Reform, sign-up now using the link below to receive a recording of our recent webinar! https://lnkd.in/ddJKP4Bx #connectology #connectionsreform #webinar #connections #sustainability #energy #renewableenergy #connections

We understand that the Connections Reform process has raised a lot of questions, and in our latest Webinar, the Connectologists® Kyle Murchie, Catherine Cleary and Pete Aston have tried to unpack some of the key queries people may have. One of these questions surrounded the proposed Gate 2 Criteria, and Catherine Cleary sought to highlight some of the new strategies that might be employed for those with multiple technologies, and what achieving a Gate 2 position for a subset of your project might look like. ❗ The consultation period is currently open and closes TONIGHT (Tuesday 6th August, 5pm).❗ We encourage everyone to complete the consultation and share your opinions, the more your issues are raised, the more effective the period will be. 💬Join the conversation and let us know what you think of this change in the current proposals! 💡To learn more about some of the questions we have identified regarding Connections Reform, sign-up now using the link below to receive a recording of our recent webinar! https://lnkd.in/ddJKP4Bx #connectionsreform #connectology #webinar #energy #renewableenergy #connections

In our recent webinar about Connections Reform, the Connectologists® Kyle Murchie, Pete Aston and Catherine Cleary share just a handful of these concerns and discuss those which are most widely felt in more detail. One of the discussions revolved around the omission of Embedded Demand from Connection Reform, and Pete Aston encourages developers to raise it in their consultation response if they are affected. ❗️The consultation period is currently open and closes TOMORROW (Tuesday 6th August, 5pm). We encourage everyone to complete the consultation and share your opinions, the more your issues are raised, the more effective the period will be. 💬Let us know whether you've completed your consultation and what issues have become evident to you! 💡To learn more about some of the issues we have identified regarding Connections Reform, sign-up now using the link below to receive a recording of our recent webinar! https://lnkd.in/ddJKP4Bx #consultation #connectology #renewableenergy #webinar #renewables #energytransition #netzero #decarbonisation #connectionsreform

To support the @ESO’s CMP434 and CMP435 Connections Reform consultation (which closes on Tuesday 6th August 2024, 5pm), Kyle Murchie, one of the Connectologists®, has developed a draft version of the Queue Management Milestone Calculator. This allows you to compare between the milestones introduced this year under CMP376 and the proposed milestones. The Milestone Calculator is a tool which is designed to flag issues in particular circumstances, to allow individuals to complete their own assessment. It can assist you throughout your own consultation response, or simply develop your understanding on the impact on current or future projects. At the end of the assessment, with the issues identified by the calculator, individuals will be able to decide whether these are manageable to continue with or not. 💡To try this calculator yourself, use the link below to complete your own assessment! https://lnkd.in/eRJGXKPq #consultation #connectionsreform #gridconnections #calculator #renewables #connectology
