Energy specialists team up to deliver future turnkey services across Yorkshire

Power contractor Smith Brothers has secured an Independent Connection Provider (ICP) contract with sustainable energy specialist P3P Partners.

The partnership is set to provide turnkey electrical engineering services on a forthcoming project for the region.

A provider of combined heat and power (CHP) services, P3P develops UK-based ‘energy-efficient’ centres and has previously worked with clients including Jaguar Land Rover and Hilton Hotels.

Having located the site, negotiated with the landowner and Norther Powergrid, Smith Brothers has now been appointed by P3P as the ICP for the upcoming mixed tech project.

The scheme of works will include the design, construction, installation and testing of a Northern Powergrid (NPg).

Commenting on the partnership, P3P’s project manager, Evan Thomson, said: “We have worked with the Smith Brothers team previously and were impressed by their efficient project management and delivery.

“We’re looking forward to working with the team on this and subsequent schemes.”

Headquartered in Elland, Smith Brothers is a high-voltage power engineering contractor and accredited ICP, specialising in turnkey network connection packages.

Dave Ogden, managing director at Smith Brothers, added: “We are delighted to be working with P3P once again - particularly on one of our own sites.

“As one of the CHP sector’s biggest players, it’s great to cement their place within our growing client portfolio with this second project.

“Of course, we are no strangers to complex renewables assignments, having completed over 50 large-scale connections in the past year alone.”
