Use this map to navigate through the Electricity Ten Year Statement (ETYS) and the Network Options Assessment (NOA). The map is illustrative and shows identified needs to move energy from point A to point B. It does not represent specific cable routes.

Key features of this map:

Electricity Ten Year Statement (ETYS)

The ESO’s view of future transmission requirements and the capability of Great Britain’s National Electricity Transmission System (NETS) over the next 10 years.

Network Options Assessment (NOA)

Recommendations for which reinforcement projects should receive investment.

Holistic Network Design (HND)

A view of the offshore network design which is part of our Pathway to 2030 work. Select a year using the slider to see how the network could be developed through time up to 2030.

Due to the amount of data in our maps, you may experience a short delay while loading boundaries.

This is the BETA version of our map of Great Britain’s electricity transmission system.

The map is for illustrative purposes. It highlights an identified need to transmit volumes of energy from point A to point B and does not represent specific cable routes.
