SSEN Distribution Data Portal

What it contains

Same class of network data as the Opendatasoft DNOs (ECR, network capacity, DFES) but on CKAN - and notably the first DNO to publish detailed smart meter consumption data at LV feeder / secondary substation level.

When you need it

Not yet mapped to a project stage. The stage axis is a first pass against a draft matrix, and a record with no stage means nobody has placed it rather than that it is useful at none.
