The UK Power Networks’ (UKPN) Distribution System Operator (DSO) has launched a report which will provide data and support around curtailment and the connections process, informing on where to locate renewable energy assets.
For each site managed by UKPN, a breakdown of curtailment for each network constraint that could impact a potential network asset will be provided. The service will include customer consultations, as well as consultations with DNO National Grid Electricity Distribution. This information will be provided to customers receiving a flexible connection quote.
UKPN hopes the service will make it easier and quicker to bring renewable energy onto the network by informing on capacity, technology and application date, and constraints associated with a particular site.
“We are making the connections process clearer, simpler, and faster for customers, whilst providing the support they need to make informed decisions around where and when they might be able to take advantage of earlier energisation,” said Sotiris Georgiopoulos, director of DSO at UKPN.
“Using real-time data, we are enabling customers to make more informed decisions about the location and scale of new projects. They can confidently embark on their journey towards a sustainable future, supported by UK Power Networks DSO every step of the way.” Sotiris added.
