New Utility Connections

Getting a new water, gas or electricity connection is no easy business these days. You need to talk to energy suppliers, distribution network operators, meter operators and a whole host of other interconnected providers.

Getting this wrong can cause delays, high costs and ultimately there is a utility connection which is not suitable for the job it is supposed to do.

With people at FEC who both understand agriculture and have an intimate knowledge of how the utility business works we can provide a turn key service, which will assess your requirements and do all the necessary communication with the utility company, so you can get the appropriate connection at the lowest cost.

Case history

John Tyrer of Rigmaiden Farm in Merseyside approached FEC after receiving a quotation from ScottishPower/Manweb PLC for just under £6,000 for the connection of two new dwellings which were being built to extend his farm accommodation development.

After a challenge by FEC on the validity of the quotation ScottishPower/Manweb reduced their charges by 60% as they had made an allowance error.
