The Advisory Group is essential to our project to:

Ensure stakeholders are aware and taking the Project into account;

Request input from stakeholders to improve the quality of our products;

Increase awareness about project risks & issues, ask for views on risks & issues and collaboratively resolve where appropriate.

We will provide input to:

Steering Group on project scope, progress, risks & issues;

Workstreams with deliverable comments/feedback.

We will seek to send information in advance of meetings to ensure that views can be sought by trade associations in advance. Our objective is to encourage open feedback from you all across all of our work.

Thank you for the continued input.

• Network companies are leading changes to connections practices to initiate consistent approaches

across GB that deliver fair and efficient allocation of available network capacity to enable new

generators and loads. By so doing, the costs of the low carbon transition may be minimised and

connections simplified for customers.

• Workstream 2 Products 2 & 3 on Application Interactivity and Queue Management published a joint

consultation which was open for 8 weeks and closed on 25 September 2019.

• The purpose of the consultation was to seek views from stakeholders on a ‘minded to’ policy

standard to be applied for the first time across all GB network companies – distribution and

transmission.

• The outcome of this consultation is being used to develop an implementation plan for both policy

frameworks by the end of 2019. This will include an assessment of implementation cost/benefit as

well as identifying any necessary licence or industry code modifications.

Key messages in responses

Application Interactivity

• Broad support for policy proposal

• Some detailed comments on related topics

Connection Queue Management

• Support for the principle of queue management

• Support for the proposal to promote flexibility in the connection queue where it frees

capacity for others (action 1.6 of Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan)

• Concern raised on the detail of the policy - particularly around the risk of customers being

penalised on prescriptive time-lapsed application of milestones for issues out with their

control

Next steps – by end 2019

WS2 P2 & P3 2019 consultation summary

Application Interactivity

• Produce a guide to explain the ‘conditional’ process in more detail, taking into account comments and

suggestions by stakeholders and publish as a Good Practice Guide for all DNOs on the ENA website

• Develop an implementation timetable for network companies to roll out the new process

• Prepare a process to apply the ‘conditional’ interactivity approach to connections across Transmission and

Distribution (across Distribution and iDNOs to follow in 2020), where there is interactivity between customers

connecting to different networks

Connection Queue Management

• Engage with individual respondents on the issues raised of issues outside their control to understand specific

scenarios to enable greater policy clarity on how to manage project changes

• Produce a guide to a) set out the good practice to be implemented on the changes to milestones and

promotion of flexibility in the queue, and b) revised minded to position on managing project changes

• Develop an implementation timetable that includes how to test revised proposals – either through additional

Open Networks consultation or code change working groups

Page 11: Energy Networks Association Open Networks Project Advisory ... Combined Slides... · • Facilitating Flexibility markets through transparency & standardisation • Developing an

• Recently, BEIS and Ofgem sent an open letter to ENA on their view of the work of the Open

Networks Project. We welcome BEIS and Ofgem’s continued support of the Open Networks Project.

• The clarity in highlighting priorities will be taken forward in our future work:

• Focusing on tangible change

• Facilitating Flexibility markets through transparency & standardisation

• Developing an implementation plan by June 2020 for Distribution System Operation (DSO)

• Establishing a data workgroup to deliver the recommendations of the EDTF and “open data”

• Monitoring implementation of our outcomes and the Flexibility Commitment next steps

• Continuing to deliver whole systems co-ordination

• The full letter from BEIS & Ofgem is available here, and the response from our CEO, David Smith,

is available here.

• ENA have also responded to the Distribution System Operation ED2 consultation.

• We asked stakeholders for views on our response and have had some feedback to incorporate.

1. On behalf of the networks, a single procurement strategy and process will procure,

update, and share the critical data from regional bodies required for planning

medium and long term incremental network capacity.

2. Accessed from a central hub, and consistent with the Energy Data Task Force

principles, the networks produce “heat maps” showing their networks and areas of

spare/scarce entry and exit capacity overlaid on regional plans.

3. A whole system optioneering service, providing Local Authorities with options to

meet their future requirements, including decarbonisation and responses to Climate

Emergencies, to enable the establishment of regional energy infrastructure plans.

The service would be triggered by application from the Local Authority/Regional

body.

Appendix Consumer benefit; consider CBA framework

The framework used by WS4 to discuss consumer benefit defines 5 categories of benefit:Improved safety and reliabilityAs the energy landscape continues to decarbonise and transform, the energy system has much more complex flows of energy, and there is much to do to maintain our system’s high level of safety and reliability for consumers.

Lower bills than would otherwise be the caseEfficiently managing the whole energy system through system operation, markets, and network decisions lead to lower costs flowing through to the bills of end consumers.

Reduced environmental damageImproving decisions made by the energy industry can enable a lower carbon energy system and reduce the broader environmental impact of our energy system.

Improved quality of serviceImproved quality of service for the connected customers and stakeholders of energy networks ultimately benefits consumers as interactions in the value chains across industry become more seamless, efficient and effective.

Benefits for society as a wholeProviding transparent, accurate information can facilitate industry discussion, foster innovation and improve decision-making which ultimately benefits consumers and society as a whole.

Considered arranging work differently (e.g. aligned to Ofgem workstreams), but retained existing, as:

• SME Expertise for different areas already in our workstreams and work allocated to that expertise

• Continuity is key – we lost momentum and time in 2018 by changing participants/workstreams

Focus on key deliverables – will develop into product scopes, and Project Initiation Document (PID)

We want your input now before the scope is finalised – we have had some input to date from letter response

formalise this moving forward

• Starting in 2020, we are launching a “Community Energy Forum”; a series of focussed engagement

forums specifically for community energy groups to get involved in the transformation of our networks

• The roundtables will give community groups a dedicated forum to engage with the project, find out

more, and respond to our open consultations

• Questions to you: Format? Frequency? Location?

Wrap Up

There are some challenges ahead if we want to meet our carbon targets while providing a safe and

secure energy grid at an affordable price.

However, by enabling flexible networks we can address these; open up new markets for customers for

low carbon and innovative technologies; and deliver efficient network costs for consumers.

We are working together and dedicated to making this work with input from stakeholders in an open

and transparent way.

Please remember to complete the feedback poll on your desks.

We welcome feedback from all our stakeholders. If you have any comments that you would like to

share, please feel free to submit them to [email protected].
