Large Demand Queue

Introduction
This dataset
shows an anonymised list of live, committed, import-related projects
within UK Power Networks' licence areas. This includes demand-only
projects that are 5,000 kilovolt-amperes (kVA) and above, as well as
battery energy storage systems (BESS).

This
list has been determined using internal systems UK Power Networks uses to
manage all committed projects in the process of connecting to our
network.
To
protect the identity of the sites, entries have been anonymised and only
the licence area, the grid supply point the project is connecting at (or
under), rounded requested import capacity, and application date have been
provided.

Methodological Approach
Live, committed demand projects are identified through desktop exercises using UK Power Networks' internal customer relationship management system and extracted.

The projects are then filtered to only show projects where The required import capacity is more than or equal to 5,000kVAThe required export capacity is 0MVA.

These project entries are then cross-referenced with other sources to verify its status. Any discrepancies are manually reviewed and kept/omitted as appropriate.To protect the identity of the demand projects the required import capacity is rounded, and the project names are anonymised by providing an arbitrary sequential number.

Quality Control Statement
The dataset is primarily built upon internal data, relating to live demand projects in UK Power Networks' licence areas. Information about battery energy storage systems are taken from existing datasets relating to Appendix G information UK Power Networks manages.Data have been checked with both automatic and manual validation methods.

Assurance Statement
The dataset is generated through a manual process, conducted by the Distribution System Operator's Regional Development Team. The dataset will be reviewed monthly to assess any changes, and to determine if any updates to the methodology are necessary.
This process ensures that the dataset remains relevant and reflective of the live large demand projects UK Power Networks is working on.
There are sufficient projects per licence area to assure anonymity of projects.While all reasonable efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information provided in this dataset, neither the licensee nor any of its directors or employees is under any liability for any errors, or for any misstatement on which a user of the data seeks to rely. Please view our Terms and Conditions for more information.The data provided constitutes UK Power Networks’ provisional view of the status at this GSP at the date of publication and is for general information only.
