Need network information?

We can help you get the insight and data intelligence you need about our network.

Powering network data

We understand the importance of network data to our customers and we're committed to providing accessible network information that enables our customers - and other key stakeholders - to make more informed decisions about their electricity supplies now and in the future.

From our Generation and Demand Heat Maps to our Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) data tool and Network Capacity Headroom Reports, we're making it easier for our customers to get the information and insight they need.

Distribution Future Energy Scenarios

A low carbon economy, new technology, digitisation and changing customer needs are driving unprecedented change in the way energy is created and used bringing with it smarter, more flexible networks. We have a part to play in planning for the future and enabling a low carbon future that supports economic growth. As part of our Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES), we've created, with Leeds Open Data Institute, an interactive online tool that uses geospacial maps to show how different influences can change electrical demand and generation on our network now and in the future.

AutoDesign

Our online AutoDesign tool is powered by real-world data. It gives an unprecedented level of insight and can help you get connected quicker and more easily. By showing the most cost-effective and viable locations to connect to our Low Voltage network and providing free of charge budget estimates in just minutes, AutoDesign is helping our customers, including local authorities, installers, and planners, make more informed decisions about the best locations to install Electric Vehicle (EV) chargers.

Embedded Capacity Register

Our Embedded Capacity Register (formerly the System Wide Resource Register) provides information and visibility on connected resources and network services. The Embedded Capacity Register is presented in an industry agreed format that was developed by the ENA Open Networks Project and provides information on generation and storage resources of ≥1MW that are connected, or are accepted to connect, to our network. The register is updated every month and also contains information on network reinforcement and the flexibility services provided by connected resources. Whilst we have used our reasonable endeavours to ensure that the data contained within the register is accurate, we do not accept any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or the completeness of the content or any loss which may arise from reliance on the register and any related information.

Long-Term Development Statement

Our Long-Term Development Statement (LTDS) contains network information which can be used when assessing the feasibility of connections to our network. It helps existing and future customers to assess opportunities available for development projects that need new or additional connections.

Network Availability Heat Maps

Our network availability heat maps can help you make more informed decisions about where to connect. Our Generation Heat Map shows where there is capacity to connect large-scale generation to our network. Our Demand Heat Map shows where there is capacity for large-scale demand projects. The web view of our heat maps uses a simple green, amber, red traffic light indicator to show network availability. The web view is accompanied by downloadable datasheets which are updated each month and provide a wealth of additional network data, including Appendix G information.

Contracted Capacity Register

Our Contracted Capacity Register is updated every month and provides information such as agreed capacity, installed capacity and generation type (72kVA or above) which are either connected or accepted to connect to our network.
