This Autumn, we’re again inviting you to select from a series of tailored, accessible events to hear about our new DSO capabilities and provide feedback on our direction of travel.
Our DSO Spring and Autumn Series are fast becoming a staple of our stakeholder calendar because they give you the chance to dive into the detail you want and offer unparalleled opportunities for you to tell us what’s important to you. For two weeks in September, you will be able to choose from tailored workshops, webinars, visits, and senior management breakfasts covering the following themes:
- Planning and Development – see how we are developing our long-term plan for capacity through proactive investment to drive wider system and societal benefits
- Operations – find out how we are utilising the optimum mix of flexibility and asset investment to accelerate connections, reduce network losses, optimise voltage, and drive cost-effective solutions for our customers
- Whole System Approaches – hear how we are enabling the wider energy system. Whether you are looking to decarbonise or develop, save money or make money, we’re collaborating with a wide range of actors to exchange open data, establish industry standards, share digital expertise, and increase network visibility to make those things easier
- Innovation – see how our ‘learning by doing’ philosophy is informing innovation in the context of DSO, generating solutions that drive efficiencies for our network and creating real benefits for the communities it serves
Have a look at the events below and sign up quickly to make the most of this opportunity to see our progress and make your voice heard!

DSO Advisory Board interview
As part of this year's Autumn Series we sat down with the Chair of our DSO Advisory Board, Gareth Miller and Dan Roberts, one of the Board members, for an exclusive interview to discuss the Board’s role in shaping and guiding our DSO plans and how stakeholders like you can influence its future focus. Ahead of the big day we asked our customers and stakeholders to submit their questions for Gareth and Dan - we think it made for a very interesting catch-up, as you can see for yourself in the video below.
Other events
In addition to the above, we will also be hosting other events such as, but not limited to:
- Tailored workshops for stakeholders with a vested interest in our heatmap functionality, gathering their feedback to help shape its future.
- We will welcome our Distributed Energy Resource (DER) and Flex Connections customers to visit our control room and meet the teams behind the scenes who operate our network 24/7.
- We’ll be actively engaging with our communities, supporting local charities, and collaborating with Community Energy Pathways on the topic of our open data portal to share insights on our network data and tools.
And much more, come back here to keep updated!
