Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) connected to UKPN Secondary Sites

Introduction

Volume of Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) for both generation and demand (under 1MW) connected or accepted to connect to UK Power Networks Secondary Substations where:

• There are greater than 5 LCT connections (or accepted to connect) by Type.
• The secondary site transformer serves more than 5 customers.

This is done in the interest of protecting customer privacy.

Methodological Approach

• LCT application data (which captures, amongst other things, the location, LCT type, and capacity) is taken from our Smart Connect portal at https://www.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.
• Data is then aggregated to the secondary site where there are greater than 5 connections.

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.

Assurance Statement

The Open Data Team has checked to ensure data accuracy and consistency.
