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

Regen Data used for projections of energy generation and storage by type, as well as installed capacity for each scenario. Visualisations, Licence Area Projections and 11kV dataset categorised by DNO licence area.

SEPD DFES 2023 Licence Area and 11Kv Datasets

The Southern England licence area report, developed with Regen, provides insights into future electricity generation, demand, and storage. It helps stakeholders understand how the energy landscape is evolving, assess opportunities for low-carbon technologies like EV charging and heat pumps, and identify where network developments may impact them. The report also outlines key assumptions and methodologies, supporting informed decision-making for businesses, local authorities and communities navigating the transition to net zero

EV Charger forecasts for the Leading the Way DFES scenario in the SEPD licence area FES2020

SEPD OA Leading the Way EV Charger FES2020.xlsx

The report outlines the Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) 2024 for SSEN Distribution, focusing on the North of Scotland and Southern England licence areas. It aims to project future electricity generation, demand, and storage capacities to inform strategic network planning and investment decisions, supporting the transition to a net zero energy system. The updated projections reflect the new pathways outlined by FES in 2024, ensuring alignment with the latest energy transition strategies.

SEPD DFES 2022 - Licence Area and 11kv Datasets

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.

EV Charger forecasts for the Steady Progression DFES scenario in the SEPD licence area FES2020

SEPD OA Steady Progression EV Charger_FES2020.xlsx

This link takes you to a page where you can find information on SSEN’s Whole System Approach to Net Zero. SSEN is working across sectors like energy, transport, housing, and local services to accelerate decarbonisation and deliver efficient, low-carbon solutions. The page covers key areas such as Distribution System Operations (DSO) for a decentralised energy system, strategic network planning to meet future demand and support for local authorities in coordinating net zero initiatives. It provides valuable insights into SSEN’s role in the energy transition, opportunities for collaboration and ways stakeholders can get involved

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.
