Connections Reform Outcome Aggregated by Local Authority
Listed in ukpowernetworks
Introduction This dataset presents the outcome of Connections Reform, aggregated for each of the 133 local authorities within UK Power Networks licence areas.
Description
It provides visibility of the original export capacity that was eligible as part of Connections Reform, together with the capacity in the revised transmission queue. Overall connected capacity in the area is provided, in addition to the sum of connected and accepted to connect export capacity from renewable and storage sources in the revised queue.
The latter is intended to provide insight into Local Authorities targets. Renewable sources are defined as Solar, Onshore and Offshore Wind and Low Carbon Dispatchable Power. Methodological Approach Connected and accepted projects across the UK Power Networks' licence area have been mapped, through their postcodes, to one of the 133 local authorities within our regions.

For each local authority, the aggregated value of connected, eligible and customers now in the queue has been provided. Quality Control Statement The process has been peer reviewed by members of the DSO Regional Development Team. In addition, to prevent individual project identification, local authorities with at least one project eligible for connections reform and with "Export capacity now in the transmission queue (MW)" values equal to 0 or "Eligible export capacity for Connections Reform (MW)" have been blanked.
Assurance Statement The Open Data Team and DSO Regional Development Team worked together ensure data accuracy and consistency.
