Final report of the NIC study on the steps necessary to ensure Britain’s low-voltage electricity networks can keep pace with rising demand.

The energy transition means Great Britain’s electricity distribution network is becoming increasingly important. As the country makes progress towards its net zero target, the distribution network will be a key enabler of electrifying heat and transport, and will support the decarbonisation of the power sector by connecting new sources of generation. This will fundamentally change the role of the network. Continuing a steady state approach will not be sufficient to meet future demand or deliver benefits, such as enabling economic growth and development.
