Major energy experience

We are trusted on major electricity infrastructure programmes where delivery matters.

£1bnprogramme

We supported a £1bn, 8-year programme to upgrade London’s electricity network.

30kmcable tunnels

The project includes 30km of cable tunnels, critical substation works, and four main works contractors.

132kVGIS substations

From more than two years of stalled options assessment to an approved delivery route in four weeks.

Client story: Integrating Delivery Across London Power Tunnels 2

Integrating Delivery Across London Power Tunnels 2

London Power Tunnels 2 is a major programme to strengthen the capital’s electricity network, delivering new cable tunnels, substation upgrades and critical network infrastructure. Lockrose provided Enterprise Project Integrator support, aligning delivery partners, coordinating complex programme interfaces, safeguarding critical system access requirements and maintaining focus on shared programme outcomes throughout the eight-year delivery programme.

Close enough to care. Experienced enough to be trusted

We stay close to delivery, working shoulder-to-shoulder with client teams, providing clear advice, practical support and experienced leadership when it matters most.

Deliberately lean

Fewer layers. Faster decisions. Direct access to people who can actually solve the problem.

Curated capability

We do not send whoever happens to be free. We work with people we know, trust, and stand behind.

Practitioner-led

Senior people stay close to the work. That means clearer judgement, quicker answers, and fewer things lost in translation.

Embedded and accountable

We work as part of the client team. We do not sit at the edge of the programme sending reports about problems someone else needs to fix.

How we help

We bring control to the messy middle of major projects

Most infrastructure programmes struggle when the plan meets reality: shifting priorities, delayed decisions, commercial pressure, access constraints, and risks that refuse to stay on a spreadsheet. We help clients move from early strategy through to handover.

1. Concept

Building the foundation for delivery

Every programme starts with important questions. “What is being delivered?” “Why does it matter?” “Is the proposed route viable? At this stage, clarity matters. We help clients define objectives, establish governance and make informed decisions before significant investment is committed.

Outcome: A clear and credible foundation for delivery, with defined objectives, governance and decision-making routes in place.

Client story: Delivering Strategic Network Reinforcement

Delivering Strategic Network Reinforcement

A regional electricity network operator engaged Lockrose to support the development of several strategic network reinforcement schemes. One key 132kV substation redevelopment required progression from assessment into delivery while navigating complex technical, land, stakeholder and regulatory requirements.
