PILLAR: ASSETS AND OPERATIONS
GIS Vectorisation
What we will do and why
Wholesale digitisation of legacy raster-based network records across the Eastern and London Power Networks areas.
Key deliverables
- GIS system upgrade.
- Digital conversion of legacy network records held in our Geospatial Information System.
- End to end as built network connectivity model.
- Enhanced quality control mechanisms.
Target outcomes
- Unlocked potential of a previously non-digital data asset.
- Facilitation of more sophisticated network modelling and geospatial analytics.
- Enhanced visual utility and ease of use when referencing network records.
- Improved sharing and exchange of geospatial network records.
- More timely and accurate updating of network records.
Measures of success
- Extent of digitised network.
- Reduction in safety related incidents associated with interpretation and use of network records.
- Reduction in time and effort manual provisioning of network records.
- Value realised through network modelling and analytics.
Stakeholder Engagement
Internal stakeholder communications to the operational areas on a weekly basis with increasing comms to the Connections and Infrastructure Planning departments. We have also publicly shared the status of this programme via the Open Data Portal.

| Date of change | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 28.06.2024 | Update |
No other change than the change related to milestones. Vectorization of EPN (East Power Networks) and LPN (London Power Networks) got re-phased. This allowed the team to get the EPN (East Power Networks) Vectorisation Milestone status on track from delayed. |
| 22.12.2023 | Update |
Vectorisation of EPN delayed six months from mid-2025 to end of the year, but the overall project timeline is not expected to change. More detail about stakeholder engagement was also added along with links to more detail. |
