Power Potential Project is now completed and we wish to thank everyone involved to make this a successful project.
Throughout Great Britain, distribution power networks have been experiencing increased levels of renewable generation such as wind and solar, etc. As this trend continues to increase, more coordination between the Great Britain (GB) System Operator and distribution network operators (DNOs) is needed. This will increase system flexibility by using more DER capabilities and provide network support at a distribution and transmission level.
The three-year study is based in the South East region of the UK, where the connection of distributed energy resources is growing rapidly. Given the region’s location there is also high interconnection with continental Europe with HVDC links of 2GW, increasing to 5GW with future projects.

The Power Potential project is an exciting opportunity for Innogy to further utilise existing resources to better support balancing the local & transmission network. We look forward to playing an important role and developing new solutions to the changing world and requirements for balancing the electricity network of the future.
