Territory

We route enquiries by postcode

The boundaries that matter in this trade are the network operators. They don't match the regions most people think in.

Great Britain, fourteen licence areas

Every homeowner who fits one of these must notify the operator that owns the wires in their street, within 28 days. Telling them which operator that is is a useful thing you can do for them.

Scotland: Two operators, split north and south. Scottish Hydro-Electric Power Distribution covers the north, SP Distribution the south.
The North West: Split in two. Merseyside and Cheshire go to SP Manweb, along with North Wales. The rest of the region is Electricity North West.
The South East: Split between South Eastern Power Networks and Southern Electric Power Distribution.
Northern Ireland: Outside the Great Britain system entirely. NIE Networks runs it under G98/NI, and nobody has yet settled where plug-in solar stands there.

We won't send out a postcode lookup until each of these areas has been checked against the operator's own tool. Ask the operator directly until then.

Territory is open

The network is new, so no area is taken yet. That won't last. The areas that fill up first will be the ones where someone asked early.

Tell us the postcode prefixes you cover, rather than a county name. If a trade contact only covers four postcode areas out of five in the South East, we can't send them enquiries from the fifth.

Register interest

Give us your postcode prefixes and we'll tell you what is open.

Tell us the trade you're in and the postcode areas you cover. Once the network is carrying enough traffic, we'll come back to you with what we can supply and what it costs. We won't guess a figure before then.
