Transition to a high DER future – a distribution network perspective

The energy sector is undergoing significant transformation, predominantly driven by a mass exit of centralised generation across the country over the next 10-30 years, and the significant growth of generation from Distributed Energy Resources (DER). Ultimately, this will transform the role that the distribution networks play in the overall system performance and security. Such network transformation requires a robust roadmap that enables a cost effective, safe and reliable journey while keeping customers’ long term interest at the core of this transformation.

This presentation gives an overview of the no-regret investments that distribution network need to undertake to ensure a smooth and cost effective transition to a future that enables higher penetration of DER.
