SPD Substation Naming Reference Table
Listed in spenergynetworks
The " SPD Substation Naming Reference Table " provide a unified view of substation naming conventions across our Open Data Portal datasets for both the SPD and SPM license areas.
Description
Because each dataset may use slightly different naming formats or abbreviations, these tables standardise all entries by mapping them to a canonical substation name. Each table aligns multiple open datasets—including LTDS, Embedded Capacity Registers, Network Flow data, and DFES outputs—to this single normalised name.
This enables users to confidently link, analyse, and cross‑reference information for the same substation, even when individual datasets use variations of the name. The canonical name is derived from the naming conventions used in the Long Term Development Statement (LTDS) datasets, ensuring consistency with our formal network planning documentation. The published dataset is a reduced reference table, for the full table please use the "Export" tab for download as an alternative export.
