IntroductionVolume of Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) for both generation and demand (under 1MW) connected to UK Power Networks by Primary Substation. Includes primary site spatial coordinates and covers LCT types: EV Charging Point; Heat Pump; Hydro; Combined Heat and Power; Solar, Wind; and Battery Storage among others.Please note that where the volume of LCT Connections by Type is 5 or less by primary site, these records have been removed.Update 22/10/2026: The Low Carbon Technology (LCT) dataset has recently undergone a comprehensive data quality review and enhancement programme, including the adoption of new and improved data sources, resulting in improved accuracy, completeness, and overall reliability. These improvements have resulted in changes to some of the aggregated data published on the Open Data Portal. Key improvements include: The inclusion of historical requests received outside of the Smart Connect Portal following its launch in March 2021 (for example, requests and notifications submitted via email). The removal of duplicate entries resulting from multiple enquiries for the same installation. Improved tracking of capacity changes between the initial request stage and final installation. More regular reconciliation against MCS certificate data to identify and address gaps in the data Enhanced connectivity and network location data. Assurance Statement The Open Data Team has checked to ensure data accuracy and consistency. Methodological Approach LCT application data (which captures, amongst other things, the location, LCT type, and capacity) is taken from our Smart Connect portal at https://www.ukpowernetworks.co.uk/smart-connect and requests via email. Using the MPAN (Meter Point Administration Number), we look up our connectivity model to ascertain the upstream connecting secondary and primary substations.Quality Control Statement Quality Control Measures include: Verification steps to match features only with confirmed functional locations. Manual review and correction of data inconsistencies. Use of additional verification steps to ensure accuracy in the methodology.Please note that the completeness of this dataset may be impacted by low asset registration by DER installers. There is ongoing sector activity in collaboration with DESNZ and Ofgem to address these challenges, see Enhancing asset visibility: Distribution Network Operator Options.
