Grid connections applications have continued to grow to the point that it is no longer possible to deliver connections reforms in parallel with the existing connections process. Last year, we received over 1,700 connection applications, leaving more projects already in the queue than are required for the energy system in 2030 or even 2050. In the next phase of connections reform, we’re pausing connection applications from 29 January to allow us to implement a new strategic application process that will support growth and deliver clean power for the nation.
