Electricity connections are complex by nature. Our group’s innovative, forward-thinking energy solutions make everything easier: from design to connection and beyond. Our Group consists of Eclipse Power Networks – an OFGEM licensed Independent Distribution Network Operator (IDNO) that provides an effective alternative to the local distribution network operator;
Eclipse Power Solutions – an expert Grid Consultancy who support customers through the grid connection process; and Eclipse Power Optimise; our new business focussed on microgrids and private networks; in the unlicensed market.

We design, own, operate and maintain extra high, high and low voltage these electricity distribution network assets, providing power connections to residential, industrial, renewable and commercial customers across the UK.

We care about our people and the talents and personality they bring. We are continuing to strengthen our talent, leadership, training, and recognition for people as they are the core of what we do and how we operate. We have an inclusive culture where people are rewarded and recognised for their inputs, innovation, and customer-centric solutions. We also have fun at work and want people to enjoy what they do and what they are helping to create.

To continue to do this we need strong diverse thinking and having people from a range of backgrounds, careers, and expertise help us do this.

Relentlessly innovative: Looking for new ways to deal with challenges is part of our DNA. If a conventional route is the best option, we’re not afraid to say it. But if there’s a way to do something more quickly, more efficiently or more cost-effectively, we’ll find it.
