Quick answer

Romsey (SO51) sits in the SSEN distribution area, and we file the G98/G99 application for you. We design discreet systems suited to the town's 1970s-designated conservation area and Abbey surrounds; a 4kW array here typically generates around 3,900–4,300 kWh a year.

Romsey is a prosperous Test Valley market town built around its Norman abbey and the River Test, with a mix of historic centre, riverside cottages and substantial modern estates on the fringes. It is the kind of place where roofs range from listed slate in the old town to large open south-facing pitches in the newer Abbotswood and Whitenap developments — a spread we design around regularly.

About 27 miles north-west of our Portsmouth base, Romsey connects to the grid through Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the distribution operator for all of Hampshire. We run the M27 corridor to Romsey routinely, and we handle the full SSEN connection paperwork as part of every install.
