We'll work with you to develop a design and price that is unique for your project. This will involve specialist work by WEL Design Engineers so a non-refundable application deposit may be required before a design and fixed-price quote is provided.
Usually we do not charge an application fee for standard installations. For non-standard installations which require payment of an application fee, we'll adjust the fee amount in the fixed-price quote.

Generating your own energy?
If you are generating energy via alternative sources - for example solar panels, wind, batteries, gas, diesel and biomass (vegetation) - we call this Distributed Generation (DG). Applying to connect allows you to input any surplus power into the WEL network.
