Energy Transmission & Distribution Consultancy

Our transmission and distribution team provides technical, process and regulatory advice to facilitate the connection of new grid generation, as well as providing a range of specialist services and technical and environmental due diligence services required to guide projects from the earliest conceptual stages, through technical and cost feasibility studies, to a fully realisable energy generation project that is ready for construction. 

Innovation meets insight

Sweco is a leader in the design and technical due diligence of biogas upgrading and biomethane injection transmission and distribution projects. We are constantly seeking to improve efficiencies within this relatively new industry, by using technologies that help to obtain a higher rate of return on investments for our clients, as well as carbon savings and contributions to a circular economy.

With considerable experience across Europe, we are working with our clients to optimise the production of biogas from organic waste streams or sewage sludge to biomethane. We have designed and supported the delivery of the three largest gas to grid projects in the UK, each of which have been recognised by the industry.

We provide a full range of services from initial feasibility, developing business cases and undertaking technology due diligence, right through to continued performance monitoring and optimisation.
