Who are the DNO?

DNO stands for District Network Operator. The DNO is responsible for distributing electricity across regions.

The UK is divided into regions, each served by a specific DNO. For example, UK Power Networks is the main distributor across the East of England.

Why are DNO applications needed?

A DNO application is necessary when you plan to connect any new electrical installation to the grid. This could be a new building, a renewable energy source like solar panels, or even a significant upgrade to your existing electrical infrastructure. The application ensures that your installation is safe, and compliant, and doesn’t adversely affect the local electricity network.

Why do you need a DNO for a solar panel installation?
