ENSURING A RELIABLE POWER SOURCE

Hello and welcome to the August issue of ECN.

UK Power Networks has said that it is making an investment of more than £100m in its electricity networks to help to ensure reliable power supplies for the 8.4 million homes and businesses in the communities it serves across London, the East and South East of England.

The company’s engineers are carrying out an ongoing programme of works for over 100 projects to install and upgrade electricity equipment such as substations, transformers, and circuit breakers.

This year the network operator is investing £102m, £72m in capital programme projects and a further £30m as part of its Green Recovery scheme which is fast-tracking the infrastructure required by low carbon projects at 86 sites to help achieve the government’s Ten Point Plan towards net zero by 2050.

John Southgate, Head of Alliance at UK Power Networks, said that the investment will provide long-term benefits for residents and businesses across its networks. A lot of the work involves the construction of new electricity supply points, to allow for an increase in capacity that helps meet new demand. As more customers turn to low carbon technologies such as electric vehicles, the company is working to deliver a network infrastructure that meets future needs.
