Network Capacity Information

Our Long Term Development Statements for both of Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks regions include information for anyone connecting to our distribution system at extra-high voltage (EHV) level (including HV busbar of primary substations). It is designed to help to identify and evaluate opportunities for entering into arrangements with us relating to the use of a system or connection.

In areas where there are several, complex thermal constraints affecting a number of customers over a long period of time, full ANM systems will be implemented, where it is technically viable. An ANM system continually monitors all the constraints on an area of the network, in real-time, and allocates the maximum amount of capacity available to customers in that area based on the date their connection was accepted.
