System and network data

Provides live and historic data for demand, import and generation for each of our four licence areas.

Provides an indication of the networks capabilities to connect large-scale developments to major substations.

Is a visual representation of the scenario projections which National Grid use for long term strategic network planning. 

One element of our plan to accommodate electric vehicles on our network is to make use of existing capacity.

Displays by zones where our network is currently seeking flexibility or may seek flexibility in the future.

Sometimes power cuts do happen, but when they do, we’re ready to restore your electricity as soon as possible. Find out if we are working on an issue in your area at the moment.

Provides complete network connectivity and asset data in a standardised format for use to assess and model the network. 

Electric Nation was 3 year project, which was funded using the National Innovation Allowance. We have now made the data available. 

Provides information on National Grid’s distribution System needs in areas which are expected to become constrained for demand in the future.

Information on the ‘Statement of Works’ that we submit to National Grid.

Service available online providing access to National Grid Electricity Distribution’s asset information and network records.

Offer to customer to temporarily reduce their capacity ahead of required reinforcement. 

Maps of the 33kv and above networks highlighting those circuits which are operating at or near their limits for the connection of any further Distributed Generation (DG)

Listing of generators that are connected to National Grid Electricity Distribution's network, which are in the process of applying for a connection.

Providing better information to electricity network stakeholders on connected resources and network Services.

Summary of lost generation due to constraints 2018 in MWh.

Data from the 10 fault level monitors installed as part of FlexDGrid, detailing the make and break fault levels generated at the sites throughout the project lifetime.

Data from the 8 BSPs and 8 primaries, where the system voltage optimisation solution was implemented. The data provided is the centrally optimised voltage value and the voltage on site following the instruction to be manipulated. Other data, such as load is present to support additional investigation.

Data from the Flexible Power Link installed on the 33kV network between Barnstaple and Taunton to manage the power flow and voltage through the connectivity of the two previously distinct networks.

Technical information website specifically to provide detailed technical specifications and policy documents for connection providers working within our four licensed areas.

We’re committed to driving down customer costs and carbon emissions and we’re doing as much as possible to reduce losses.

ESA process and validation for primary substations, BSP and GSP polygons.
