Explanation:
Dollands Moor does not have a direct connection to the national grid infrastructure which ordinarily supplies businesses and households with electricity. The only supplier in range of the freight yard with existing required infrastructure is The Channel Tunnel Group. Using existing infrastructure, electricity can be fed from from Euro Tunnel.
