Utiligence will design, construct and commission the substation and associated power infrastructure, ready for adoption by Northern Powergrid, alongside a dedicated 132/33 kV customer substation and an 11kV backup supply system for Enviromena’s Longpasture project. Utilligence will act as the appointed Independent Connection Provider (ICP), managing all aspects from detailed design, through to final handover.
“We’re delighted to be chosen as partner by Enviromena on this critical infrastructure project,” said Ross Waddington, CEO, Utilligence. “The contract is a testament to our capability in managing the entire lifecycle of high-voltage connection projects. Our comprehensive in-house services and years of renewable engineering experience de-risks the process for our clients, ensuring robust energy assets designed for today and tomorrow’s power needs. Longpasture is a key enabler for new renewable generation capacity, which is becoming ever-more critical to Britain’s energy future.”
“We’re pleased to be partnering with Utilligence to deliver our Longpasture project,” said John Brereton, Head of Grid at Enviromena. “Utilligence was selected based on their ability to meet the design, delivery, and compliance requirements for the 132kV connection.
“Their full‑scope proposal provides a clear framework for the design, delivery, and commissioning of the project, and we will be working closely together to progress the works safely and effectively through to energisation. Once energised, Longpasture will play an important role in supporting the transition to net zero while strengthening Great Britain’s energy security.”
