Northern Powergrid's potential future scenarios, both interpreted from the 2021 National Grid Future Energy Scenarios, and a Planning Scenario drawing too from the Climate Change Committee 6th Carbon Budget Scenarios and fitting the ENA Open Networks Best View Scenario criteria.

Does Northern Powergrid offer a fast-track application process?

Northern Powergrid now offer a fast-track application process for connecting small scale generation and electricity storage devices that meet certain criteria.

Is the Northern Powergrid model a total local authority forecast?

For Local Authorities which are only partially in Northern Powergrid areas the model only produces forecasts for the area served by Northern Powergrid, so it is not a total Local Authority forecast.

What is happening in Northern Powergrid?

By the mid-2040s, within the Northern Powergrid region, it is entirely converted to delivering low carbon hydrogen serving customers on hydrogen hybrid heat pumps. The incentivisation of renewable generation continues and offshore wind generation grows rapidly. The rollout of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies is also successful.

What is the role of CCS & bioenergy in Northern Powergrid?

From the early 2030s and onwards, both gas CCS and bioenergy with CCS (BECCS) play a significant role in the generation mix. With an engaged society, there is a high uptake of consumer driven technologies such as domestic solar PV and batteries. For Northern Powergrid, the key purpose for using flexibility in the network is to reduce peak demand.

Which local authorities are partially served by Northern Powergrid?
