Our Distribution Future Energy Scenarios (DFES) Primary dataset contains information on various parameters such as energy usage, generation and Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) volumes, forecasting this data out to 2050. This data is produced for 5 different scenarios, assuming different rates of uptakes for various technologies. This dataset contains this information spilt per primary substation within the Northern Powergrid region.
This dataset is new to our 2024 DFES publication, and has the data in a more portal friendly format. We recommend this dataset for users who are looking to build visuals with the mapping or charting functions within the portal.
We have used the information from this dataset to produce a DFES Primary Dashboard which can be found within the tabs of this dataset. This allows users to see each parameter graphed for substations, scenarios and/or year range they select.
Our 2024 DFES report and methodology can be found in the export tab under the "Alternative Exports" section at the bottom of the export list
