Rock Power Connections Ltd

💚 Celebrating the retirement of Jenny Parkes 💚 This week, we say farewell to someone who has truly been part of Rock Power Connections from the very beginning — Jenny Parkes. Jenny joined us back in 2014 as our Senior Administration Assistant, proudly holding the title of Employee Number One on the payroll. From our early days in a small one-room industrial unit in Worcester to the thriving organisation of over 150 employees we are today, Jenny has been a constant, dependable presence every step of the way. Her dedication, tenacity, and incredible work ethic have been instrumental to our success — especially in building the strong governance and document control processes that have helped us achieve top marks in audits and win major contracts. Beyond her professional impact, Jenny has been the heart of our team — always reliable, always kind, and always ready with a smile (or the right words at the right time). With retirement ahead, we know she’ll be busy enjoying hockey, tennis, travelling, and long lunches — but she’ll be deeply missed by all of us here at Rock. Thank you, Jenny, for everything you’ve done and the legacy you leave behind. Wishing you every happiness in this exciting next chapter! 🌟 #Retirement #ThankYou #TeamRockPower #RockPowerConnections #EmployeeNumberOne #CompanyMilestone #Farewell #Gratitude

ICPs like us are transforming how developers access the network - offering faster timelines, flexible solutions, and direct accountability. For 11kV connections, our role is even more critical. We manage everything from feasibility studies to final energisation, often delivering ahead of schedule. The future of energy infrastructure depends on agile, expert-led delivery. That’s where we come in. 📩 If you have any questions or need support with your power requirements , contact: Jason Yee – Senior Electrical Connections Manager 📧 [email protected] 🌐 https://buff.ly/44VZ5FK #PowerRequirements #ConstructionPlanning #GridConnections #ElectricalConnections #ICP #PowerInfrastructure #ConstructionProjects #GridConnections #RockPowerConnections #NetZero #EnergyTransition #ElectricFleets #EVCharging #Utilities #11kVto33kV #GridConnections #NewPowerSupply #HighVoltage #ProjectDelivery #EnergyInfrastructure #EVInfrastructure

Building a Sustainable Future – Why the Right Connection Strategy Matters As the UK accelerates toward its net-zero goals, businesses across sectors are under growing pressure to decarbonise operations, electrify fleets, and embrace renewable energy. But while much of the focus is on new technologies - EVs, heat pumps, solar, and battery storage - there’s one foundational piece that can make or break your sustainability journey: your electrical connection strategy. At Rock Power Connections, we’ve worked on hundreds of grid connections across transport, energy, manufacturing, and public infrastructure. The key lesson? Sustainability starts with a future-proof connection—one that supports growth, resilience, and the low-carbon technologies of tomorrow. If you’re planning a low-carbon project, don’t leave the connection to chance. Make it a pillar of your sustainability plan - and partner with experts who understand both the technical and strategic challenges. 📩 Let’s build a more sustainable future—starting with your connection.

"11kV Connections: Not Just a Technical Detail - A Strategic Decision" For developers planning commercial or industrial sites, understanding the implications of an 11kV connection can be the difference between delays and smooth delivery. From design approval to energisation, the process involves coordination with DNOs, adherence to G81 standards, and a clear understanding of load requirements. As an Independent Connections Provider (ICP), we simplify the journey - translating technical jargon into actionable steps and ensuring compliance every step of the way. If you're planning a project that might require HV connections, let's talk early. The earlier we're involved, the smoother your grid journey becomes. 📩 If you have any questions or need support with your power requirements or grid applications: Jason Yee – Senior Electrical Connections Manager 📧 [email protected] 🌐 https://buff.ly/44VZ5FK #DNOApplication #PowerRequirements #ConstructionPlanning #GridConnections #ElectricalConnections #ICP #IDNO #PowerInfrastructure #ConstructionProjects #GridConnections #RockPowerConnections #NetZero #EnergyTransition #ElectricFleets #EVCharging #Utilities #11kVto33kV #PhasedRollouts #GridConnections #NewPowerSupply #HighVoltage #ProjectDelivery #EnergyInfrastructure #EVInfrastructure #MajorProjects

Turning ‘No Quote’ into ‘Let’s Build’ 🛑 “Load too high.” 🛑 “No clear route.” 🛑 “Try again next year.” It looked like a dead end-until we got creative. 📋 We assessed the client’s true load profile, rethought the sequencing, and offered a 2-stage delivery plan with route flexibility. Now? The offer’s in. The project’s on. Not every connection is simple-but the right mindset turns blockers into build plans. Got a tricky site? Send it my way. We love a challenge ❤️ Ioana Galloway AIEMA | Business Development Manager 📩 [email protected] #CreativeEngineering #EVInfrastructure #SiteSolutions #PowerDesign #RockDelivers #NoQuoteNoProblem #PowerRequirements #ConstructionPlanning #GridConnections #GridConnections #RockPowerConnections #NetZero #EnergyTransition #ElectricFleets #EVCharging #Utilities #11kVto33kV #NewPowerSupply #HighVoltage #ProjectDelivery #EnergyInfrastructure #MajorProjects

💼 The Business Case for Fleet Electrification – Financial and Environmental Benefits Electrifying your fleet isn’t just about embracing sustainability — it’s about building a smarter, more cost-effective, and future-ready business. From logistics providers and local authorities to retailers and service companies, organisations across the UK are recognising that fleet electrification offers both financial gains and environmental leadership. But to fully unlock these benefits, it's essential to understand the infrastructure requirements, operational implications, and long-term advantages. At Rock Power Connections, we help clients deliver the charging infrastructure that powers electric fleets - safely, efficiently, and at scale. In this article, we explore why now is the right time to electrify and how to build the business case to make it happen. 📈 Think Long-Term, Act Now The case for fleet electrification is no longer speculative — it's grounded in hard numbers and real impact. But infrastructure remains the critical enabler. Without the right electrical systems in place, the most ambitious plans stall. At Rock Power Connections, we help fleet operators move from ambition to action — delivering powerful, reliable connections that unlock the full value of electrification.

🚩 How to Spot a Red Flag Early One of the biggest commercial risks we see in EV infrastructure projects? Jumping the gun. It’s completely understandable - clients are excited to move quickly. But too often we see EVs ordered, contractors mobilised, or civils work started before legal processes with the DNO or IDNO are complete. Here’s the reality: ⚖️ Legal approvals take time—often longer than expected 🚧 Starting early without the green light can lead to idle teams, project delays, and unnecessary costs At Rock Power Connections, we help clients avoid this trap by: ✔️ Building in realistic timelines ✔️ Coordinating early with the DNO/IDNO ✔️ Making sure everything’s lined up before work begins on site 🔌 Plan first = smoother delivery, reduced risk, and stronger commercial outcomes. 📩 Got a project in mind or need support planning your EV rollout?
