Our innovation project, Powering Wales Renewably, has received Beta phase funding from Ofgem and Innovate UK’s Strategic Innovation Fund to better facilitate decarbonisation in Wales. The project will create a connected digital twin of Wales’s energy transmission and distribution network and incorporate data sets and digital technologies to create a unique common interface. Find out more about the Powering Wales Renewably and how it could: 🔌 Allow us to connect more renewable sources of generation 💷 Deliver potential savings on consumer bills of £58.5m between 2030 – 2035 🍃 Achieve savings of over 2 million tonnes in CO2 emissions

About us
As the Electricity System Operator (ESO) for Great Britain, we sit at the heart of the nation’s energy system, running electricity networks safely and efficiently, minute by minute, hour by hour, 365 days a year. It’s our job to make sure there is enough electricity when people need it – we are the people who make sure the lights stay on, the kettle boils and your phone charger works, whether there’s demand from one person or one million.

💬 Speaking at SSE plc’s ‘The Business of Leading the Energy Transition’ Kayte O'Neill, Chief Operating Officer at the ESO, set out that getting to clean power by 2030 is challenging but achievable and will require ambitious policy transformation, taking society along with us. Whilst we will advise on how to deliver the clean power 2030 ambition, we’ll continue to plan for the longer term, looking out beyond 2030 to strategically plan energy infrastructure requirements out to 2050.

To fully unlock the benefits of renewable generation and to achieve the ambition of a zero-carbon grid, there is a need for a coherent and deliberate approach to building the shared digital infrastructure industry needs. We have worked in partnership with industry experts from Arup, Energy Systems Catapult and Zühlke Group to detail how shared digital infrastructure can be built and operated for the benefit of all. Together, and building on the work of the Energy Digitalisation Taskforce, we identified that an energy “Digitalisation Orchestrator” is required to ensure digital infrastructure is developed for, and by industry. “Delivering Energy Sector Digitalisation” sets out a realistic and forward-looking vision of how a Digital Orchestrator can support and administer the digital framework we need to make net-zero a reality. 📰 Read more about delivering energy sector digitalisation: https://bit.ly/3MyEjVE

Our Executive Director, Fintan Slye, has written an open letter to industry following the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero formally asking the Electricity System Operator (ESO) to develop advice on how to achieve a decarbonised power system by 2030. Read the letter to learn how we’ll develop our plan, how it will interact with other energy reforms and how we’ll engage with industry through the process. ⬇
Last week the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero formally asked the Electricity System Operator (ESO) to develop advice on how to achieve a decarbonised power system by 2030. In response, I’ve shared an open letter to industry outlining how the ESO will develop our plan, how it will interact with other energy reforms and how we’ll engage with industry through the process. We welcome the ambition set by the UK Government and look forward to contributing by undertaking this critical analysis. Read my letter below. ⬇

Our major innovation project, CrowdFlex, has completed its first phase of summer consumer trials, with 31 electricity demand shifting events between May and July. ⚡ During these events, over 37,000 OVO and 1,300 Ohme customers were incentivised to use their electricity flexibly by adjusting their energy usage or by making assets like electric vehicles available to the grid for automated control of when to charge. 🔋🚗 Find out how participants responded to the events and the future potential of domestic flexibility to help manage the grid. ⬇
