Meeting the UK’s Growing Electrical Demands: Feature in Electrical Contracting News

The UK’s ambitious drive towards decarbonisation, coupled with the government’s commitment to housebuilding, is set to significantly increase demand on the country’s electrical infrastructure. In a recent article featured in Electrical Contracting News, VisNet from EA Technology, highlights the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for network owners and operators.
 
With the government’s pledge to construct 1.5 million homes over the next five years—an annual target of 370,000 new properties—VisNet’s Managing Director, Dave A Roberts, stresses the urgent need for smarter technologies to support this expansion. He explains that while these housing targets are crucial to addressing the UK’s housing shortage, they will inevitably place additional pressure on the electrical grid, requiring innovative solutions to manage the increased load.
 
He emphasizes that proactive network monitoring and accurate modelling of new connections will be key to ensuring a resilient and future-proofed electrical network. With challenges come opportunities, and VisNet remains committed to supporting customers as they navigate this evolving landscape.
