High- & Extra-High-Voltage Networks

End-to-end delivery of high-voltage and extra-high-voltage networks, built for demand that never switches off.

Industry challenge

Electricity is something we rarely think about until it is no longer there.

Yet behind every home, business, hospital, transport network and industrial site lies an infrastructure under growing pressure. Demand is rising, assets are aging and the grid is being reshaped by electrification and new connections. High-voltage and extra-high-voltage networks are carrying more load, more complexity and more responsibility than ever before.

Circet Energy helps operators respond to that pressure by reinforcing the backbone of the grid where it matters most. From route design and network studies to overhead lines, underground cables, substations and rapid storm response, our teams work across the full lifecycle of critical power infrastructure, to keep power moving safely and reliably.

What We Do

From route design to long-term resilience

HV / EHV design & route feasibility
Overhead line construction & refurbishment
Underground cable installation
Substation civil works
Emergency response & maintenance
Mapping the routes power depends on
Our design teams support the earliest stages of HV and EHV projects, from route feasibility studies and asset condition surveys to detailed design, temporary works and regulatory compliance.
Rebuilding the lines that keep power moving
We design, construct and maintain wood pole and steel tower overhead lines from low voltage (LV) through to 400 kV. This includes new builds, full circuit rebuilds, tower strengthening, conductor and earthwire replacement, refurbishment and asset life extension works.
Connecting the network below ground and beyond
From live-line working capability and planned maintenance to emergency storm response and rapid fault restoration, our teams help network operators protect continuity of service in environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Who we serve

Supporting network operators and infrastructure owners

Transmission operators

Transmission operators need high-voltage infrastructure that can reinforce capacity, extend asset life and maintain system resilience across critical networks.

Distribution network operators

Distribution operators need safe, compliant and future-ready overhead, underground and substation works that support growing demand and network modernization.

Infrastructure & asset owners

Infrastructure owners integrating renewable generation into complex estates need delivery teams able to work safely within constrained operational environments.

FLAGSHIP PROJECT

Circet delivered a large‑scale refurbishment of a 275 kV transmission line between Coolkeeragh and Magherafelt in Northern Ireland. Spanning 56 km, the project focused on upgrading critical infrastructure while maintaining network continuity on one live circuit, an essential constraint that shaped every phase of delivery.
