Notice Title

Electrical Supply Upgrade to Ravelin House

Notice Description

The existing electrical supply provides enough power for essential systems and limited operational needs. To ensure a more sustainable and higher-capacity power provision for future requirements, an upgrade to a dedicated 500 kVA supply has been proposed. Using an alternative connection point is possible, but doing so would significantly reduce available spare capacity elsewhere and may not meet projected demand. The planned upgrade is intended to deliver sufficient power for upcoming activities while preserving capacity and flexibility across the wider network.
