We will make it easier for you to connect to and use the network 

We have many customers who want to connect to and use our electricity transmission network.

We provide them with network connections, services related to the connection, and ongoing services once they’re connected. We aim to achieve this by becoming a more customer-centric business.

This stakeholder priority is about making it easier for customers to connect to and use the network.
