DNO Supply Question

[Guest55]

Sounds reasonable to me

agreed.
to be honest , the replacing of fuses is neither here nor there.
what you are really paying for is authorisation / approval from the dno to increase your max available supply.

so to get 200A for under £300 is actually pretty miraculous lol.

Totally agree. It is not just a site visit to change fuses. A study on the network capacity will need to be undertaken before any increase in supply capacity can be agreed. A connection agreement will be required (depending on DNO) which takes time to generate. It may seem a lot of money to change 3 fuses but there is a considerable amount of time required before that is carried out.

I understand what you're saying, but the processing work within the company is being carried out on a day to day basis as a matter of course anyway. It's not going to cost the company a penny in any additional costs.


I don't think i've ever seen a reasonable costing to any work the DNO's quote for. It's just that we've all been brainwashed to expect extortionate figures!!

Sorry E54, we’re both “old school”

It has to be done therefore it will be done to my book.

To be honest costing a job hasn’t figured much in my life..
I want, I get!.
The joys of multinationals!

It's all down to what i have always called ''Creative Accounting'' with these large utility companies...
They make the fee's up as they go, and according to what they think they can get away with, depending on client/customer status they are quoting. ...lol!!
