Known network constraints

We published details of any known constraints on the transmission and distribution networks on our network availability heat maps.

We have been engaging with our stakeholders to help them understand how congestion on the transmission system is impacting our ability to facilitate timely connections to our distribution network.

We want to ensure that anyone considering a connection to our network can make an informed choice and understands the likely impact on their project’s lead time and cost.

In August 2022, we began publishing details of known network constraints at grid supply points across our operating area. The information was included as part of the downloadable datasheets that accompany our network availability heat maps.

The information represents our best view of which grid supply points are impacted. We also include information on the likely energisation date and nature of the constraint where this is known.
