We join everything up
Generators at one end – consumers at the other
Directly or indirectly connecting to our networks
At the centre of the industry

Electricity: The Challenges
Increasing variable generation
and need for gas back-up
Increasing interconnection
Increasing distributed generation
– appears as greater demand
fluctuation
New demand patterns e.g. electric
vehicle charging and space
heating – large and volatile
So, need enhanced capabilities

Attempting to supply all heat from
electricity will:
• Require huge investment in
generation, networks and heat pumps
•Much of which will operate with a very
low load factor
