Low Voltage Flexibility Zones by Tender Round

Listed in ukpowernetworks

Introduction This dataset provides a geospatial view of Low Voltage (LV) Flexibility Zones where long-term flexibility services have been tendered for by UK Power Networks.

Description

The dataset presents LV Flexibility Zones by tender round, showing where UK Power Networks was procuring flexibility to manage constraints in a zone relating to high demand (e.g. generation turn up or demand turn down at times of peak demand). At LV level, flexibility is only procured for demand constraints.

It is intended to help flexibility service providers understand where long-term LV flexibility requirements have been located over time. For information on the historic delivery of flexibility services, please refer to the Flexibility Dispatches dataset Methodological Approach Each LV Flexibility Zone is shown as a geographic area representing the location of a network constraint. Zones are linked to a specific tender round and indicate that flexibility was sought for a Demand constraint, in the form of generation turn up or demand turn down.

These reflect the requirements at the time the flexibility tender was run and may not represent current network needs. As part of the flexibility procurement process, individual Meter Point Administration Numbers (MPANs) are checked to confirm final eligibility. This dataset provides an indicative view of where flexibility has been required by UK Power Networks in the past and does not confirm eligibility to participate in future tenders.

Quality Control Statement The dataset is subject to a series of quality control checks prior to publication. These include: Verification of Flexibility Zone boundaries and spatial accuracy; Checks that Flexibility Zone names align with those used in other datasets on the Open Data Portal; and Consistency with zone naming used on Localflex and within competition data files published on the Tender Hub. Note, the name of the LV flexibility zone has been removed in line with our risk mitigations with secondary sites.

Assurance Statement The Low Voltage Flexibility Zones by Tender Round spatial map is reviewed prior to publication by a member of the Flexibility Markets team.
