Regen provides independent, evidence-led insight and advice in support of our mission to transform the UK’s energy system for a net zero future. They have provided SSEN with support around DFES activities. Here is a link to the organisation's 5 strategic goals. 

Relevant Third Party Resource - Regen Strategic Goals

This report outlines the results from the 2023 Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) 
analysis for Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks’ (SSEN) Southern England electricity 
distribution network licence area. The DFES analysis produces high granularity forecasts for 
the growth (or reduction) of energy generation, demand and storage technologies 
connecting to SSEN’s electricity distribution network.

SHEPD OA Leading the Way HP FES2020.xlsx

Regen produces DFES (Distribution Future Energy Scenarios) projections for SSEN's Northern and Southern licence areas to forecast future energy generation, demand, and storage. This includes technologies such as EVs, heat pumps, and other low-carbon technologies (LCTs). The data provides an overview of forecasted growth, which SSEN uses to inform its network investment decisions.

Licence Area Projections and 11kV datasets are categorised by DNO licence areas, with a supplementary report available detailing the methodology and key influences behind the projections available on the website.
