Reinforcement of existing transmission and storage infrastructure is a priority in both the UK and the EU as a whole.

Dundas & Wilson's Energy and Utilities team acts for infrastructure owners, operators and users. Our main areas of advice include:

• EU and UK regulatory requirements, including advising ETSO on the creation of ENTSO-E and other 3rd liberalisation package issues
• transmission and distribution
• planning, consenting and wayleave acquisition (on and off-shore)
• gas transmission - codes, third party access and capacity reservation
• electricity transmission - codes, grid connection and balancing services
• interconnectors - advising capacity allocation, auctions and curtailments
• gas storage - advising on development, acquisition and construction.
