In its annual network options assessment (NOA), the ESO describes major projects its considering to meet the future needs of GB’s electricity transmission system. It recommends to transmission owners which investments in the year ahead best meet the future network requirements, as defined in the Electricity Ten Year Statement.
There were 147 options assessed, with 42 recommended to proceed.
Within those, three are ESO-led commercial solutions, with the others falling into six categories: 39 in the development of new circuits, 29 control power flow, 10 in building a new substation or reconfiguring an existing substation, 34 in upgrading existing circuits, 27 voltage and stability constraints and 4 alternative options.
