Energy Networks

This is a pivotal moment for network operators: DPCR5 brings new incentives and obligations, Smart Metering and Smart Grid will be a game-changer for the entire industry, and the thinking coming out of the RPI-X@20 project indicates a shift in the regulatory paradigm.

Network operators must deliver major change, both in the next regulatory period and the longer term. The challenge is to do this, while maintaining focus on, and efficiency in, the day to day business of running the network.

Wholly owned by Great Britain’s 14 electricity distribution licence holders, ElectraLink is a natural partner for distribution businesses.

ElectraLink can help networks with:

Development of Smart Grid trials, including running Tier 1 projects and bidding for Tier 2 Low Carbon Network Funding
Understanding the impact of Smart Metering on IT systems
Electric Vehicle technologies
Gaining further value from data transmitted by the Data Transfer Network
Dealing with the impact of regulatory changes such as CDCM

Look out for us at these upcoming events:

	Smart Grids Europe 2010. 29-31 March 2010, Amsterdam.
	Smart Grids 2010: making them a reality. 25-26 May 2010, London.
