DSO Functions: DFES, Data and Flexible Services

Electricity North West owns, operates and maintains the North West’s electricity distribution network, connecting 2.4 million properties, and more than 5 million people in the region to the National Grid.Our network covers a diverse range of terrain, from isolated farms in rural areas such as Cumbria, to areas of heavy industry and urban populations including Manchester.Part of our role as network operator is to plan for the future. To meet government carbon reduction targets we need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels like gas and petrol and change to renewable sources. As a result the demand for electricity in the UK is expected to increase dramatically by 2050.As well as meeting additional demand as we start to use more electric heat pumps and electric vehicles we also need to adapt so that low carbon generation sources such as wind and solar power can connect directly to our network.Find out more atwww.enwl.co.uk/zero-carbon

About Distribution System Operation (DSO)In response to the climate emergency, the UK has become the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming by bringing carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. Here in the North West, we are supporting our stakeholders’ desires to go further and faster than the national target and deliver net zero even sooner.As we decarbonise we forecast that demand for electricity will double as customers adopt cleaner, greener forms of transport and heating. As well as an increase in demand, we expect to see more and more customers connecting their own generation to our network such as solar panels and wind turbines; all of this will have a dramatic effect on the existing electricity infrastructure.Network operators like Electricity North West will play a key role in this transformation. It’s our responsibility to provide a smart and flexible electricity distribution system which will meet the evolving needs of customers and support the region’s economic development.About this webinarThis workshop will give an overview of Electricity North West&#x27;s latest Distribution Future Electricity Scenarios, and the Data Portal, with experts from our team walking attendees through the data that is published, what it means, and how to use it to help inform potential connections, operations and trades on the network. Visit our new data portal at https://www.enwl.co.uk/go-net-zero/data-portal/.Our Flexible Services&#x27; Team will also present our latest Flexibility requirements and explain how businesses can get involved, from energy specialists, to non-specialists alike.
