Our digital initiatives

Assignment of unique numbering and associated physical labelling, complete with QR Code to facilitate asset identification, location and related information access to all pole assets across the Eastern Power Networks area.

Utilisation of data from smart meters to increase efficiency and accuracy of network operation and control, planning and asset management activities, and delivery of enhanced services to customers.

Develop a robust power quality assessment tool that reduces wait times for assessments to be undertaken and can be integrated with customer facing connection tools such as Smart Connect.

CReDo+ (Climate Resilience Demonstrator - extension to new climate risks) is a development on the original CReDo decision support tool aiming to incorporate newly developed models of DNO asset failure risk under extreme weather conditions.

Automated cross-referencing and reconciliation of latest land registry data with existing consent records to identify changes in ownership, informing proactive acquisitions of new consents. This will aid access to undertake works, expediting work delivery and customer connection.

Making substations smart by installing computers in them to analyse and reconfigure the network based on specific conditions to increase the resilience of the distribution network, free up capacity and allow more renewable generation to connect.

Ensuring our processes and systems deliver cost efficiencies, improved customer services and support our RIIO-ED2 commitments through work management improvements as well as upgrade, modification or replacement of components of our primary enterprise systems. This includes more effective management of supplier relationships.

Wholesale digitisation of legacy raster-based network records across the Eastern and London Power Networks areas.

Linking consent and property records in with the asset register which would then connect them with payment records and land registry details, enabling digital payments.
