With grid connection applications quadrupling since 2018, coinciding with a growth in local area energy projects, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) need innovative solutions that can save both time and money more than ever before. Ofgem has also set out the need for network companies to work more closely with local authorities in the development of local area energy plans to ‘identify the best basket of solutions for a particular area’.
Access to granular data to identify and assess network capacity, property suitability for low carbon technologies, and location suitability for EV charge points is now available.
Our granular data can be combined with our cloud based net zero planning platform (LAEP+ Local Area Energy Planner Plus), or is available as a stand alone datasets in API or exportable file formats.
Explore and evidence suitable properties for low carbon technology deployment
Identify potential sites for EV Charge Points & Transport Infrastructure
LAEP+ tool is being used by 50% of UK DNOs to support the upstreaming of constraints in the grid and predict future energy system changes, enabling further electrification of transport, heating, and power in collaboration with Local Authorities.
LAEP+ uses digital twins to plan region-wide energy transitions by providing granular heat, building, transport and energy data alongside net zero modelling tools to support informed decision making.
LAEP+ automates the connection process and providing Local Authorities with a self-service portal to design their own connection.
Meet RIIO-ED2 requirements to engage with energy planning
Collect data on local authority plans ahead of connection requests
Improve the quality of connection requests
Optimise the deployment of low-carbon technologies to reduce network strain
Collaborate with local authorities in real time
LAEP+ has enabled us to collaborate with many local authorities within the regions SSEN serves, to share network data and information from multiple sources alongside modelling best practice to build a clear picture of optimal pathways to reach net zero.
