The Near Real-time Data Access (NeRDA) Portal is making near real-time data available to our stakeholders and interested parties. We're helping the transition to a smart, flexible system that connects large-scale energy generation right down to the solar panels and electric vehicles installed in homes, businesses and communities right across the country. In line with our Open Networks approach, our Near Real-time Data Access (NeRDA) portal is live and making available power flow information from our EHV, HV, and LV networks, taking in data from a number of sources, including SCADA PowerOn, our installed low voltage monitoring equipment, load model forecasting tool, connectivity model, and our Long-Term Development Statement (LTDS). Making near real-time data accessible from DNOs is facilitating an economic and efficient development and operation in the transition to a low carbon economy. NeRDA is a key enabler for the delivery of Net Zero - by opening network data, it is creating opportunities for the flexible markets, helping to identify the best locations to invest flexible resources, and connect faster. You can access this information via our informative near real-time Dashboard and download portions of data or connect to our API and receive an ongoing stream of near real-time data.
The map-based Powertrack tool allows our customers to get access to near-real time outage data on the SSEN Distribution Network. This includes Planned and Unplanned Outages as well as some supporting information on affected postcodes and reasons for the outage.
LENZA (Local Energy Net Zero Accelerator) is a geospatial planning platform powered by Advanced Infrastructure Technology Limited’s (AITL) LAEP+ software. It has been developed through SSEN Distribution’s Project RESOP. LENZA is designed to support users in their strategic energy planning endeavours, including the creation of Local Area Energy Plans (LAEPs) and, where relevant, Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies (LHEES). The platform provides local authorities and their delivery partners with data and modelling tools that support informed decision making, including information on network capacity, building stock, and energy consumption. The tool empowers users to plan decarbonisation pathways, which in turn drive SSEN Distribution’s longer-term strategic network planning that will power local net zero ambition.
