👷 For safety's sake, only fully-trained and kitted-out experts are permitted into our substations. So Craig from our contract partners Keltbray Infrastructure Services did the right thing earlier this week, helping this young cygnet, who ended being an accidental trespasser! 🦢 Our Christchurch substation backs onto an area of water, and this wee soul appeared to have lost its way. But one call to the local wildlife rescue centre later, and our feathered friend was safely escorted from the premises. ⚠️ Please always stay well away from our substations, and if you spot anything amiss, call us free on 105 and we’ll respond. #ssencommunity #safetyfirst

⚡ We’ve now successfully switched the electricity supply for residents of Papa Stour to the recently-installed replacement subsea cable between the island and Mainland Shetland. 🤝 This switching was successfully carried out earlier this week, and the mobile generators which had been supplying homes and businesses on Papa Stour while these works progressed have now been disconnected. Plans are now underway to remove this equipment from the island. ❤️ We’d like to thank Papa Stour’s residents for their patience while we carried out these works as safely and quickly as possible. #ssencommunity #subsea

Take part in shaping the future of British Common Information Models (CIM) 🏅 Alongside other British Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) we will be testing the interoperability of our new Long-Term Development Statement (LTDS) in a Common Information Model (CIM) format, to understand how systems produce and receive this data. Interoperability is important so that DNO’s network data is published in a consistent format making it easier for stakeholders to consume and use. The availability and interoperability of data across the energy sector will be a vital enabler to Britain’s journey to Net-Zero. 🧪 We want to invite interested parties who are keen to join the test and take part in shaping the future of our networks and systems. If the data is readable by your system this will benefit your ability to observe the network and how you connect with it. 📧 To take part, all you need to do is send an email to digitalisation@energynetworks.org with your system of choice. Let's collaborate for a more connected and efficient interoperable energy landscape.

🦫 ICYMI! Have you ever wondered how we safely and securely install electricity cables under a riverbed? If so, read on! ⚡We’re currently carrying out a £4.1m upgrade to the local electricity network in Aberdeen, with part of the cable route taking in the Granite City’s famous River Don. Our teams are working with Nicol Of Skene Ltd to install three new cables underneath the actual river bed using a Horizontal Directional Drill – by taking this direct route below the Don, it means we can keep disruption to a minimum for homes, businesses and road-users in the local area. 🍿We visited the teams on site recently to learn more about this fascinating piece of kit – we hope enjoy our video and find the drill as exciting as we did! Learn more in this article: https://lnkd.in/emrrk8N5
