4 Open Networks Delivering a Smart Grid ENA s Open Networks Project is a major energy industry initiative that will transform the way that both local Distribution Networks and national Transmission Networks will operate and work for customers. This is being driven by the 3Ds; digitisation, decentralisation and decarbonisation The Open Networks Project will help customers connect and realise value; as well as reducing cost for consumers through more cost effective planning The Open Networks Project is a key initiative to deliver Government policy set out in the Ofgem and BEIS Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan, the Government s Industrial Strategy and the Clean Growth Plan We are taking a learn-by-doing approach; we are using innovation funding to trial and test aspects of the various future electricity system options 4 Short Animation that can be found at:

6 Project Development & New Benefits onwards DSO definition & improvement principles Detailed DSO assessment & improvement development Support policy decisions and improvement implementation Regulatory enactment & implementation Secure, reliable electricity to homes and businesses. Smarter electricity system that keeps network costs down for the public More control and choice for public over how they use electricity Easier for business customers to connect to the grid More competitive market opportunities for businesses 6

7 Consultation Purpose Be transparent on the 2019 workplan for Open Networks to progress objectives and customer benefits We have established the project to be adaptable and feedback will be used to: Prioritise the work to be carried out in Phase 3. Add further products to the Phase 3 programme if needed or defer proposed products from the Phase 3 programme if these do not address priority areas of work. Adjust the detailed scope and timing of products. Adjust the proposed stakeholder engagement, communication and consultation plans. 7

9 2019 Workplan Short-term improvements separated from longer term DSO Transition to focus on making improvements now Split into 3 workstreams to ensure scope manageable 9

10 2019 Workplan Number of key dependencies to be managed closely, including: Ofgem s Significant Code Review of network charging and access; Energy Data Taskforce; Trials. 10

11 2019 Priorities We will be ensuring we focus on key priorities: Opening Flexibility Markets Progressing the pathway to future DSO Implementing least regret short term changes that benefit customers We will be ensuring that we focus on these key priorities Please provide us feedback with your view on this There are a lot of parallel initiatives calling on similar resources (e.g. RIIO2, Charging reforms, Open Networks) which is a risk to progress 11

28 Energy Networks Association Workstream 4 Whole Energy Systems

29 Whole Energy Systems Our 2017 definition of Whole Energy System and work to date has been electricity network focused whilst recognising cross-vector information exchange and opportunities. Reflecting on stakeholder views, ONP has initiated the Whole Energy Systems workstream in 2019 to consider a more integrated approach extending to other energy vectors including gas, heat, transport, waste and water. A key question to address is whether more cost effective decisions for planning or operation could be made by electricity networks and other infrastructure providers if a whole energy systems view was taken into account (e.g. could there be more effective investment in gas infrastructure to alleviate a potentially expensive constraint in electricity infrastructure). This is a 3 month scoping exercise to see whether there is value to deliver for customers and to package up any relevant work for delivery through External stakeholders part of the workstream scoping exercise to ensure wider industry views input 29

34 Energy Networks Association Conclusion & Consultation Questions

35 Consultation Questions 1. Which specific areas of 2019 work or Products are most important to you and why? 2. Are there any other areas of work or Products you would like to see included in the Open Networks Phase 3 workplan and if yes, why and how should they be prioritised compared with other work? 3. Should any areas of work or Products be removed or deferred and if yes, why? 4. Do you agree with the proposed Products for wider consultation and what other work should be consulted on and why? 5. Do you agree with the defined Dependencies, have we prioritised dependencies inappropriately or are there any missing? 6. Is one consultation per quarter a suitable number and frequency, can you only support fewer or would you rather see more? 7. Do you agree with the proposed Whole Energy Systems Workstream 4 and can you please provide any relevant Whole Energy Systems projects, initiatives or views that you would like considered as part of that new workstream? 8. How would you like to provide input to the Open Networks Project and be kept informed of developments? 9. In what ways might the Open Networks Project improve the way it consults with stakeholders, beyond the Stakeholder Advisory Group? 10. Do you feel the Open Networks Project has held enough stakeholder engagement events in 2018? What type of events would you like to see more of in 2019? 35
