Local Authority by Primary Feeding Area

Primary Assignment: Postcodes of the MPANs are assigned to a primary substation based on the number of MPANs fed. Polygon Creation: Primary Feed Polygons are created and cleaned up to remove holes and inclusions. Hierarchy Construction: Grid Supply Point polygons are produced from schematics and merged based on hierarchical relationships.

FLOC Matching: Functional Location Codes (FLOC) are matched to the respective sites. Geospatial data was then layered using dataset Local Authorities and County Councils within UK Power Networks licence areas — UK Power Networks to determine which local authorities were fed by each primary substation. Quality Control Statement Quality control measures include: Verification steps to match features only with confirmed FLOCs.

Manual review and correction of data inconsistencies. Use of additional verification steps to ensure accuracy in the methodology. Regular updates and reviews documented in the version history.

Assurance Statement The Open Data team, worked with the Geospatial Data Engineering team ensure data accuracy and consistency.
