Strategic Energy Planning
ESO publishes investment plan for future energy system: The Electricity System Operator (ESO) has published today a report called "Beyond 2030", which proposes a £58 billion investment in the…
Balancing services
Reactive power services are how we make sure voltage levels on the system remain within a given range, above or below nominal voltage levels. We instruct generators or other asset owners to either…
Balancing services
The Obligatory Reactive Power Service (ORPS) is the provision of varying reactive power output. At any given output generators may be requested to produce or absorb reactive power to help manage…
Strategic Energy Planning
NOA for Interconnectors (NOA IC) identifies how much interconnection capacity would provide benefit to consumers and other interested parties. It highlights the potential benefits of efficient…

National Electricity Transmission System (NETS)As the ESO, we are responsible for the system operation of the transmission networks in England, Wales, Scotland, and in the surrounding offshore…
Strategic Energy Planning
The ETYS is the ESO’s view of how the future transmission system requirements will be met. Currently, this focuses mainly on bulk power transfer requirements, particularly during winter-peak…
Strategic Energy Planning
Great Britain’s NETS must continue to adapt and be developed so power can be transported from source to demand, reliably and efficiently.
Balancing services
The Enhanced Reactive Power Service (ERPS) is suitable for generators who can provide reactive power over and above the Grid Code and Obligatory Reactive Power Service (ORPS) requirements. On this…
