Independent connection providers explained...
Make your connection with an ICP
Construction companies and developers that build new housing plots and need to connect to the electricity network frequently use ICPs. In these circumstances, ICPs can provide greater reliability and be more economical than a traditional Distribution Network Operator (DNO), which regulations and budget may limit.

ICP FAQs
Are ICPs responsible for acquiring connection permits and permissions?
E.ON will administratively control the connection procedure. This entails obtaining permits, licences, and permissions from local authorities, DNOs, and others. We'll complete the documentation and verify regulatory compliance.
What are the typical costs of using an ICP?
The price will depend on the needs of your project. Requesting a complete ICP quote for design, installation, and connection by completing our online form, we'll then be in touch to discuss your options and work out the most cost-effective plan to suit your budget.
What is NERs and are ICPs regulated?
NERS regulates and standardises UK electrical distribution by providing defined requirements, scopes, and responsibilities that ICPs must follow when working on electricity networks for their customers.
ICPs must follow regulations and industry standards to ensure connection infrastructure safety, reliability, and compliance. They must adhere to regulatory guidelines and work with DNOs and energy providers, of which we are one, to help streamline the process.
What is the average ICP connection time?
Connection time depends on project complexity, site circumstances, and approvals. ICPs offer faster connection times than the DNO route to speed up the process and reduce delays.
Can E.ON help with renewable energy?
We can support your business with a varied number of renewable options, helping your business switch to a more sustainable future.
