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.
