Roadnight Taylor is delighted to welcome Matt Vickers, Director of Connections Reform at NESO, to this episode of the Connectology ® podcast!

Matt shares his experience from leading one of the biggest overhauls in the UK energy sector—fixing a broken grid connections system and tackling a huge project queue. With his background as an energy ombudsman, he brings a fresh perspective on the challenges and urgency of making change happen.

In this episode, Matt and the Connectologists® discuss:

Why the current system needs reform
What developers often get wrong in their submissions
How NESO is helping projects stay on track
Why early, accurate applications matter more than ever
And how all this ties into the UK’s clean energy goals for 2030

If you’re a developer, investor, or just following the energy transition, this is a must-listen. Matt offers practical advice, honest reflections, and a look at what’s next.
