Smart meter LV feeder half hourly usage data is collected directly from smart meters in homes and businesses and anonymised through aggregation to no less than 5 properties through SSEN’s smart meter adapter. There is a postcode and LV Feeder Dataset ID lookup to provide the aggregated half hourly consumption data in Wh (combined primary and secondary active import Wh), from the relevant secondary transformer and low voltage feeder IDs with a total count of smart meters. Please note that the aggregated half-hourly data provided via our Open Data Portal is sourced from smart meters. Smart meters, their performance, and the data stored within them are the responsibility of the energy suppliers who install them at customers’ premises. There are some known and potential unknown issues within the data, and while we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the smart meter data retrieved, we do not accept responsibility or liability for its accuracy, completeness, or any loss arising from reliance on this dataset.

The Embedded Capacity Register (ECR) has been developed to provide better information to electricity network stakeholders on connected resources and network requirements. Each Distribution Network Operator (DNO) will host a register which will provide accessible information at a local and national level. The register uses a format agreed through the Energy Networks Association's Open Networks project, an industry initiative aimed at transforming the operation of energy networks and delivering a smart grid. Our register provides information on generation and storage resources (>=50kW) that are connected, or accepted to connect, to the electricity distribution networks owned and operated by us and it will be updated on a monthly basis. The register also includes information on the flexibility services that are being provided by connected resources, assisting to control or schedule demand and/or generation to reduce network constraints.

This is Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) Distribution's first Network Development Report and is part of a suite of new information that sets out our longer-term Network Development Plans for our distribution networks. It gives users access to information pertaining to our network plans for the next ten years in relation to our 11 kV networks and above, allowing all interested parties to better assess and identify the future opportunities to use and engage with us and the network.

Our Generation Availability and Contracted demand map for both north and south. Our map provides an indication of the networks capability to connect large-scale developments to major substations. Accompanying the map, the heat map spreadsheets for both of our network regions provides Grid Supply Point (GSP) details, GSP and substation transformer ratings, Fault level information, and contracted and quoted generation projects at each GSP.
