[QUOTE="alanhobbett, post: 549911, member: 37418"] Hi. I'm one of three self builders building a house on a site in Fife. We have been talking with the DNO about connection. We have a DNO quote for contestable and non-contestable works but cant find anyone locally willing to quote against the DNO of the contestable element. We're too small fry. Our own electrician, whose experienced with much larger projects including generation projects, checked some of the materials costings for us and says the cable costs are too high. We proposed to the DNO that we supply the cable to their performance spec and conduct all excavation ourselves. They say they are fine with the excavation (we liaising with the local authority for relevant permits) but say that they would have to supply the cable as this connects to their network? This sounds dodgy to me as in effect they then become the monopoly supplier of cable for contestable works? Anyone know whether the DNO can insist that they supply cable for contestable works?
