I am the Infrastructure Planning Engineer for UK Power Networks, the host Distribution Network Operator (DNO)for most of Essex and Brentwood falls into my responsibility

Looking over the consultation documents I have a few comments:-
. Generally the estimate 350 houses proposed p.a. if dispersed across the area would not require major reinforcement to the electricity infrastructure. It may need local 11kV and LV works to provide connection directly to the sites or IDNO depending on the developers preferences. Charges for network extensions and connections are met by the developers involved. If centred in a few areas such as option 1 or 2 some reinforcement may be required.
. There is little detail in the consultation regarding employment and this can be more problematic depending the nature of the services, businesses or industry requiring connection to the distribution system. For example a large warehouse covers a large area but uses little power, where-as the same warehouse could be filled with data-centre technology and require the equivalent power of a small town. Again developers or individual companies can approach UKPN for estimates of connection costs for particular sites.
. Based on the existing electricity infrastructure the area to the north of the borough (Ongar) is a semi-rural type of network with overhead lines and few major substations (132/33kV Grid or 33/11kV Primary) and therefore would attract higher connection costs for major developments or large businesses. It is anticipated that a dispersed approach in this area would avoid major reinforcement and therefore housing needs would be met from existing major substations in this area.
. The A12 corridor is serviced with a major Grid substation to the north of Shenfield with strong 33kV interconnection through Brentwood towards Romford in the south west. This would accommodate most commercial and domestic requirements through the period with only the largest connections likely to require major network extension with potentially a need for a new Primary substation. It may be necessary to extend major circuits to help distribute through the area that would normally be achieved with underground cables.
. The A127 corridor and West Horndon and Dunton areas are well served by a recently reinforced Grid substation on the western outskirts of Basildon as well as a new Primary substation at the same location. An existing Primary substation at West Horndon could be reinforced if additional capacity was required. These substations are expected to meet most if not all requirements for housing and commercial/industrial development. Similarly to the A12 and network extensions of major circuits to help distribute through the area that would normally be achieved with underground cables.

I am more than happy for Brentwood Borough Council to contact me directly to discuss our infrastructure and plans through the OfGEM ED1 period 2015-2023.
