You can now receive low and medium voltage network connection quotes in as little as 15 minutes. For commercial and industrial solar, that is a genuine step forward.
As Australia accelerates its clean energy transition, distribution network service providers (DNSPs) are experiencing a significant increase in grid connection requests. Much of this growth is being driven by commercial and industrial rooftop solar and battery storage projects. While this surge reflects positive momentum toward decarbonisation, it also places pressure on existing connection processes, which can be time-consuming and resource intensive.
VisNet Connect, EA Technology’s self-service network connection software, has been developed to modernise and streamline this process.
The automated tool enables project owners to:
- Easily determine if their LV or MV (up to 2.5 MVA) connection requests can be approved via an online platform.
- Access network location, available capacity, and historic connection price ranges.
- Receive cost estimates and connection offers in as little as 15 minutes.
For contractors, developers and installers, this means:
- Faster feasibility assessments
- Reduced engineering time
- Greater cost certainty earlier in the project lifecycle
For DNSPs:
- Increased confidence in connection approvals
- Greater visibility of network capacity
- A streamlined, digitised connection process
- Reduced manpower needed to manage connection requests
