Outcomes of procurement activity and list of contracts from various parties to provide flexibility services.

Our short-term bidding rounds are run to ensure we procure the flexibility volumes we need, but where previous long-term rounds did not fulfil all the requirements, Flexibility Service Providers (FSPs) declare their unavailability or where updated forecasts require more flexibility. Short-term bidding rounds are run a month ahead of need.

Our long-term bidding rounds typically involve flexibility requirements from our Distribution Network Options Assessment (DNOA) process that determines flexibility needs from our Extra High Voltage (EHV) network in the next three years. In addition, we include High Voltage/Low Voltage requirements at year ahead. This is normally flexibility needs for reinforcement deferral, or where our Control Rooms require flexibility for outage planning.

This statement by SSEN provides the Exceeded Import Curtailment Price and Exceeded Export Curtailment Price using flexibility market data which has been determined in accordance with this Schedule 2D of the DCUSA. Separate statements are published for the SEPD and SHEPD Licence Areas.

The Seasonal Operability Report is a quarterly operational usage report, which will enable current and future providers of both flexibility services and distributed energy resources to understand how the SSEN Control Room has used various services in the past three months and highlight areas of potential curtailment in the future.

Our day-ahead bidding rounds are the final opportunity to procure flexibility and can include a range of needs. Shortfall from long-terms and short-term rounds and any Control Room requirements that are identified nearer to real-time. These rounds are run day ahead.

The Flexibility Dispatch report is a weekly ahead flexible services utilisation report which provides a summary of the dispatch instruction for both SEPD and SHEPD licence areas.  The data identifies the area where the service products will be dispatched and how much capacity will be instructed from different flexibility providers. The Flexibility Dispatch report is intended to give our stakeholders an insight about the future usage of flexibility services and help them to better understand the potential opportunities for flexibility utilisation. The dataset also contains historical dispatch information dating back to 2023.

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.

A Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) analysis for both the North of Scotland (SHEPD) and Southern England (SEPD) distribution network licence areas. LCT uptake scenario projections for EVs, electricity fuelled heating technologies and domestic rooftop solar PV capacity to secondary substation and feeder level, year by year, out to 2050.
