Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) Connected to UK Power Networks
Listed in ukpowernetworks
Introduction Volume of Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) for both generation and demand (under 1MW) connected to UK Power Networks by Primary Substation.
Description
Includes primary site spatial coordinates and covers LCT types: EV Charging Point; Heat Pump; Hydro; Combined Heat and Power; Solar, Wind; and Battery Storage among others. Please note that where the volume of LCT Connections by Type is 5 or less by primary site, these records have been removed.
Methodological Approach LCT application data (which captures, amongst other things, the location, LCT type, and capacity) is taken from our Smart Connect portal at ukpowernetworks.co.uk/smart-connect . Using the MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number), we look up our connectivity model to ascertain the upstream connecting secondary and primary substations. Quality Control Statement Quality Control Measures include: Verification steps to match features only with confirmed functional locations.

Manual review and correction of data inconsistencies. Use of additional verification steps to ensure accuracy in the methodology. Please note that the completeness of this dataset may be impacted by low asset registration by DER installers.
There is ongoing sector activity in collaboration with DESNZ and Ofgem to address these challenges, see Enhancing asset visibility: Distribution Network Operator Options Assurance Statement The Open Data Team has checked to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
