smarter-hv-and-mv-connections-project---innovation---close-out-report
The project aims to review the current ESB Networks planning and security of supply standard and update and evolve these standards to ensure that they facilitate the objectives of the ESB Networks Innovation Strategy. These novel standards will take account of the requirements of binding National and EU Energy Directives and Network Codes, whilst cost effectively maintaining a safe, secure and reliable distribution system. These novel standards will facilitate the introduction of non secured access for distributed generators and non wires alternative solutions.
The new Standards and Guides have recently been approved by the CRU and are available to view by following the links below.
