Terms of use

Draft template. Have it checked by a solicitor before launch. Last updated: [date].

What the budget tool is

The tool gives a budget estimate for a new electricity connection, based on the published charges of your network company. It is a guide for planning only. It is not a quote or offer, and the network company’s formal quote may be higher or lower. Costs such as digging and reinstatement, traffic management, land rights, ground conditions and extra network reinforcement may not be included. Spare-power (capacity) information is indicative only.

Quote requests

If you ask us to request a budget quote or a formal quote from your network company, we prepare and submit the application on your behalf, using the details and the letter of authority you give us. A chartered engineer checks the application before it is submitted. Our fee covers this service only. The network company’s own charges are separate and are paid to them. Our fee is shown before you pay, and VAT is added at 20%.

Timescales

Network companies set their own timescales. Typical working days and how long a quote stays valid are shown as a guide. We do not control them and cannot guarantee them.

Refunds

[Describe your refund policy, for example: if we cannot submit your request, we refund our fee in full.] You may have the right to cancel within 14 days; if you ask us to start work sooner, that right ends once the service is fully provided.

Use of this site and our content

The site, its software, design, text, logo, and the way its data is selected and presented are protected by copyright and database right and belong to GridQuotes LTD or its licensors. You may use the tool for your own project. Without our written permission you must not copy, scrape, harvest, reproduce, resell or republish the site, its code, price tables or results; use automated tools to access it or to send requests in bulk; reverse engineer it; or use it to build a competing service. We may block access and take legal action if these terms are broken. The underlying public data (such as HM Land Registry data) stays under its own licence.

Accuracy and liability

We take care to keep prices up to date but we do not promise they are complete or current. We are not liable for decisions made only on the estimate. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

Plot outlines and maps

Property outlines come from public land registry data (HM Land Registry INSPIRE data, Registers of Scotland) and may be out of date or approximate. Check boundaries yourself.
