Do you get issues whenever the interconnect throws a wobbler? We have occasionally had (non critical) systems trip out that have caused us transients. PITA. I've been told the big explosion when they were commissioning it was quite something though.

Colleague at work who used to be an electrical engineer is deaf in one ear after an incident where he was in the breaker hall when multiple breakers tripped simultaneously.

Needless to say we are not going with them and they’ve really soured my opinion of them.

I would possibly suggest that a number of the subsidies they get for their renewables production were not "ethical" either.

Zippy, just as any small business is wary of signing up with a supplier who might cease trading this winter, the same applies in the other direction… a deposit is in case your company folds owing them money. The cost of an unstable economy. Energy prices have just gone nuts for small businesses, there isn’t regulation to ensure a delay in any of the price rise ‘till the spring in the same was as for domestic customers. You aren’t going to find a sensibly priced deal I’m afraid.

Sorry been out today.

We've had a few incidents where the all the cooling tower fans driven from one side of a distribution board have tripped, the DNO have said they had coincident issues on their network. Wonder if they were caused by the interconnetor. Hmm, 🤔
